Workshop on Survival Analysis

and related procedures

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of SiDOR Research Group
Vigo, November 30 and December 1, 2023

Supported by: Grant PID2020-118101GB-I00, Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MCIN/ AEI /10.13039/501100011033); and Consellería de Cultura, Educación e Universidade, Xunta de Galicia, expediente ED431C 2020/03.

Survival Analysis is one of the key research areas of SiDOR research group. Along the years this Galician team has introduced many statistical methods to deal with survival data. Topics include: non-standard censoring and truncation models, length-biased data, multi-state models, goodness-of-fit tests, resampling procedures, semiparametric methods, smoothing techniques and many others. This workshop celebrates all these contributions, on the occasion of the 25h anniversary of the group. Recent advances in the field will be presented by a number of leading researchers from several universities, within an international programme that will mix keynote talks and contributed presentations.

Organized by: – Department of Statistics and OR and SiDOR Research Group, University of Vigo
Where: Graduates Hall, Faculty of Economics, Vigo - Spain
