Survival Analysis in Biostatistics

In biostatistics, survival analysis is a collection of statistical methods for analyzing the time it takes for some event of interest to occur (i.e., time-to-event data). For example, a study of disease progression might assess time to patient mortality or recovery. Survival analysis helps researchers understand how the probability of a biological or medical event changes over time and how that probability is affected by other factors.
