Survival tables and censored data. We describe the methodology of preparing survival tables and the treatment of censored data in this type of study with time to event variables.
Bayes’ theorem. We describe the concept of conditional probability and the development of Bayes’ theorem, used to calculate the conditional probability of an event. Today we are going to see another of those examples where intuition about the value of certain…
Robust scale parameters. We describe robust scale parameters, such as the median absolute deviation or the winsorized standard deviation, less susceptible to extreme values.
Simple regression. The concept of regression is defined and the most used simple regression models are detailed: linear, logistic and proportional hazards regression.
