This workshop provides an introduction to the increasingly popular methodology of survival analysis, event history modeling, and duration analysis in the medical, social, behavioral, economics and educational sciences. The fundamental concepts of censoring, survival function and hazard function estimation as well as its comparison across groups via the Kaplan-Meier product limit estimator. The widely used Cox proportional hazards model is then focused on. Methods for examining possible violations of its assumptions are also indicated, as are extensions of the model when they are not fulfilled.
