Hi Wayne,

I'd like to do Kaplan Meier survival analysis for my final project, if possible, and don't see anything on the website.  Can you post some info?

Thanks.

Maria

These are the topics you will learn more about in epi 203 and biostat 209. I don't think we can cover them in this course. One of TAs will do a 10 minute mini lecture on the survival analysis at the end of the course though.

For your final project, you don't need to do anything fancy. A " table 1" type descriptive analysis will be good.

Right, survival analysis is a bit outside the scope of our course.  

However, if you want to get a start on learning how to do survival analysis and Kaplan-Meier plots, use the Stata help menu and look up "st" and "sts graph".  Bottom line - first you need to "stset" your data (tell Stata that you have survival time data), and then you can use the "st" and "sts" commands such as sts graph.  Good luck!
