Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
The assessment of the course consists of three individual tasks (oral presentation, and two written assignments) based on the topics of the course and the applications performed by the students. For each task the student has to show the quantitative skills acquired (e.g., proper use of statistical concepts, understanding of scientific literature using event history analysis, analyze data correctly and interpret the results accordingly).For the final grade: all tasks weight 30%, active participation and attendance 10%Important Grading Information:
If not explicitly noted otherwise, all requirements mentioned in the grading scheme must be met.
If a required task is not fulfilled, this will be considered as a discontinuation of the course. In that case, the course will be graded as ‘fail’ (5), unless there is a major and unpredictable reason for not being able to fulfill the task on the student's side (e.g. a longer illness).
In such a case, the student may be de-registered from the course without grading.
Whether this exception applies is decided by the lecturer.
If any requirement of the course has been fulfilled by fraudulent means, be it for example by cheating at an exam, plagiarizing parts of a written assignment or by faking signatures on an attendance sheet, the student's participation in the course will be discontinued, the entire course will be graded as ‘not assessed’ and will be entered into the electronic exam record as ‘fraudulently obtained’.
The plagiarism-detection service (Turnitin in Moodle) can be used in course of the grading: Details will be announced by the lecturer.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Each task is graded with a scale from 1 (excellent) to 5 (fail). Students have to respect the deadlines agreed for each task. If the student does not perform in one of the tasks according to the deadline, the course is considered failed. To have an overall positive evaluation, students need a grade of 4 or less for each task. Attendance at the sessions is expected, if a student misses more than one session, the course is considered failed.

2) Fundamentals of event history, descriptive methods (life tables, Kaplan Meier estimator)
3) Cox regression models
4) Parametric survival modelsThe learning objectives are: (1) to familiarize with time-to-event data and analyses (2) to be able to understand the scientific literature using event history analysis; (3) to be able to perform analyses of time-to-event data and correctly interpret the results.Prerequisites for the course are: knowledge of descriptive and inferential statistics, knowledge of probability theory and multivariate data analyses.For the applications, we will use R software.The course will be held in digital format (platform Zoom and Moodle). The language of the course is English.
