    About the Course

    Welcome to Survival Analysis in R for Public Health! The three earlier courses in this series covered statistical thinking, correlation, linear
    regression and logistic regression. This one will show you how to run survival – or “time to event” – analysis, explaining what’s meant by
    familiar-sounding but deceptive terms like hazard and censoring, which have specific meanings in this context. Using the popular and
    completely free software R, you’ll learn how to take a data set from scratch, import it into R, run essential descriptive analyses to get to know
    the data’s features and quirks, and progress from Kaplan-Meier plots through to multiple Cox regression. You’ll use data simu...

    Good intro, just wish there would be an intro to more advanced methods (e.g. time varying covariates).

    It made learning very frustrating in every sense. Grading system has obviously some errors and nobody provides answers on Discussion forum. Final questions are formed in a way that was quite confusing to me and I never had that problem before also in much harder courses. Important things are not well explained including the mathematics behind. These is a lot of space for improving this course to make it better which is a pity because the course has some good moments as well.

    The transcript is poorly made so I could not save notes without translating the transcript. There are bugs in quizzes (wrong model answer) too. Otherwise, I have gain much knowledge about Cox's regression.

    It is a nice course! However, the video transcripts are very problematic. Since I like taking notes from transcripts, it creates some inconvenience for me

    Was a good overview of the basics of survival analysis, would have liked it to go into more depth, and feedback on assignments was very limited.

    Rarely any clear explanation, no formulas at all. Just making conclusions on statistics but not telling why. Truly doesn't worth the time. I would rather spend much more time reading a book rather than going over such reckless and seemingly good papers and projects.
