In this video I cover survival analysis. Specifically what it is, and why it's useful when the time until an event is important and when you have "censored" data. I talk about what censored data is and provide definitions of the survival and hazard functions. This is illustrated visually by showing a Kaplan-Meier curve as well as the idea behind the logrank test. We close with modeling. There's a lot of different survival models, such as survival trees and survival forests. For parametric versions there's accelerated failure time models. I show an example of a Cox proportional hazards model and explain what exactly the (very important) proportional hazards assumption means.
