Survival Analysis

Statistical methods for analysing time-to-event data, such as time to death or disease progression.

Definition

Survival analysis encompasses methods for modelling time-to-event outcomes. Key concepts include the survival function, hazard function, and cumulative hazard. Common parametric models used in health economic modelling include exponential, Weibull, log-normal, log-logistic, Gompertz, and generalised gamma distributions. Model selection is guided by statistical fit, visual inspection, and clinical plausibility.
