Course content
Basic concepts in lifetime modelling. Censored observations. Nonparametric estimation and graphical plotting for lifetime data (Kaplan-Meier, Nelson-plot). Estimation and testing in parametric lifetime distributions. Analysis of lifetimes with covariates. (Cox-regression, accelerated lifetime testing). Modelling and analysis of recurrent events. Nonhomogeneous Poisson-processes. Nelson-Aalen estimators.
Learning outcome
The course gives the theoretical foundation for stochastic modeling and statistical analysis of lifetime data, with emphasis on applications in reliability analysis and medicine. The student will through the mandatory exercises be able to use the theory on realistic data.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and exercises with the use of a computer (MINITAB or R). The lectures may be given in English. Portfolio assessment is the basis for the grade awarded in the course. This portfolio comprises a written final examination 80% and selected parts of the exercises 20%. The results for the constituent parts are to be given in %-points, while the grade for the whole portfolio (course grade) is given by the letter grading system. Retake of examination may be given as an oral examination.
