Course objectives
The main goal of the course is to become familiar with some basic principles of statistical analysis of events in time to (1) understand and explain basic principles of nonparametric and (semi)parametric statistical inference and statistical modelling for (non)censored data; (2) implement these techniques in R language; (3) be able to apply them to real data.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able:
- to understand principles of likelihood and nonparametric statistical inference and (semi)parametric statistical models for (un)censored life-time data;
- to build up and explain suitable nonparametric statistical test and (semi)parametric for (un)censored life-time data;
- to apply nonparametric statistical inference and (semi)parametric statistical models on for (un)censored life-time data;
- to implement methods of nonparametric and (semi)parametric statistical inference for (un)censored life-time data to R.
Syllabus
  • censoring a its types,
  • survival function, variance, risk, mean and median survival, mean and median residual life, point estimation, confidence intervals and bands, competing risks, cumulative incidence function,
  • testing of statistical hypotheses – comparisons of two or more survival curves, relative risk, nonparametric principles for censored data,
  • generalisation of correlation coefficients in testing of hypotheses about survival curves,
  • Cox proportional hazard regresním model,
  • implementation in R,
  • examples from biology and medicine calculated in R language.

Teacher's information
Přednášky budou probíhat prezenčně dle rozvrhu. V IS bude vždy k dispozici záznam textu přednášky v PDF (přednášející text píše elektronickým perem na obrazovce tabletu a tento se zobrazuje na plátně) a slajdy v PDF s TeXovaným textem. Záznamy se budou sdílet až po dané přednášce a před další přednáškou.

K získání zápočtu je potřeba aktivní účast na cvičeních (povolené jsou 2 neomluvené absence). Za omluvenou absenci se považuje výhradně absence omluvená na studijním oddělení a zavedená do informačního systému v řádném termínu (do 5 pracovních dnů od termínu konání výuky). Je to v souladu se studijním řádem, kde se v čl.9 odstavci (7) píše, že (7) Student je povinen písemně omluvit na studijním oddělení fakulty svou neúčast do 5 pracovních dnů od termínu konání výuky, jež je omlouvána.

The course is also listed under the following terms Autumn 2010 - only for the accreditation, Autumn 2010, Autumn 2011 - acreditation, Autumn 2012, Autumn 2013, Autumn 2014, Spring 2016, Spring 2017, spring 2018, Spring 2019, Spring 2020, Spring 2021, Spring 2022, Spring 2023, Spring 2025.
