A key feature of time-to-event data is the presence of censored/truncated observations, and standard methods of analyzing such data are covered in introductory statistics courses. However, methods for analyzing recurrent events, some of which may be censored, are often not covered in introductory classes. Likewise, random effects are well-studied when modeling continuous or dichotomous outcomes, with many books/resources available. But when analyzing time-to-event outcomes, incorporating recurrent events is challenging beyond the use of few basic models. Theory is well developed, however there is a need to adapt the myriad methods available in literature to real life applications. As understanding theory is onerous, many practicing statisticians are tempted to fit only the very basic models to such data often ignoring the risk possibilities of more advanced models. This course provides an opportunity to learn about advanced modeling for such data keeping in mind the underlying assumptions of the models. Real life examples will be covered using the R/SAS software and more advanced models will be discussed. The course will be taught at an Applied level with minimal theory.
Dr. Milind A. Phadnis is an associate professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Data Science at the University of Kansas Medical Center. His work connects statistical methods with clinical and biomedical research, including designing and analyzing clinical trials. kumc.edu
At the University of Kansas Cancer Center, Dr. Phadnis serves as the Biostatistics and Informatics Leader for investigator-initiated trials. In this role, he contributes statistical expertise to studies led by cancer researchers. His collaborative work includes a randomized trial of treatments for metastatic breast cancer. kucancercenter.org
Dr. Phadnis teaches master’s and doctoral students in biostatistics and data science. He holds an MS and a PhD and brings both teaching experience and hands-on clinical research experience to the ASA traveling course.
