On the proportional hazards assumption

This talk was held at Stockholm University on 13 March 2024. I was subsequently invited to give the same talk for other audiences and have included the updated slides here. I will start by giving a brief overview of the proportional hazards …

Extrapolating survival using flexible parametric models in a relative survival framework with applications in HTA (talk at HTAi, Adelaide)

Talk at HTAi, Adelaide, Australia on 28 June 2023. Extrapolating survival using flexible parametric models in a relative survival framework with applications in HTA

An introduction to flexible parametric survival models

In this talk I will introduce flexible parametric survival models (Royston−Parmar models) and present several examples of how I use them in my research in cancer epidemiology. The non-technical talk is targeted at clinical researchers with a basic …

An introduction to flexible parametric survival models and a discussion of the proportional hazards assumption

In this talk I will give an introduction to flexible parametric survival models (Royston−Parmar models). The talk will not be highly technical, but is targeted at students and researchers with basic knowledge of survival analysis (i.e., familiar with …

A non-technical overview of the proportional hazards assumption in survival analysis

A non-technical overview of of the proportional hazards assumption; what it is, how to test it, and how to proceed with analysis and reporting in the presence of non-proportional hazards.

An overview of methods for estimating cancer patient survival

A non-technical overview of concepts and methods for estimating the survival of cancer patients using data collected by population-based cancer registries.

Flexible parametric survival models in population-based cancer epidemiology

An introcuction to flexible parametric survival models and how I use them in my research

Statistics and epidemiology

An overview of some concepts in survival analysis

Why I use flexible parametric survival models

I didn't develop flexible parametric survival models, but I am an avid fan. Some of my methods research (with Paul Lambert and others) has involved extending flexible parametric models. This talk (based on a talk by Paul Lambert) describes why and …
