Also, Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test will be discussed when introducing survival data. In the course, assumptions underlying the mentioned regression models will be explained, requirements on the data will be discussed and methods for model fitting and checking will be introduced. Interpreting and communicating the results is also an important part.
