In this module, students will be introduced to statistical methods for the count and time-to-event data. Topics covered in this module include person-years, incidence rates, Poisson model, types of censoring, life table analysis, Kaplan-Meier estimator, log-rank test, Cox regression analysis and competing risks. Using SAS to implement these methods and case studies will be discussed. (1.5 credit units) Exclusion: EPID 822
