Analyzing Survival Data

[#1]

See how to:

• Understand why survival analysis is useful
• Use medical data to perform survival analysis using Life Distribution and Survival platforms
• Examine Kaplan-Meier estimates and compare survival by grouping variables
• Run parametric survival models to predict survival times based on type of treatment

See how to:

• Create medical parametric survival models and Cox’s Proportional Hazards models
• Compare models, use the Distribution Profiler to predict survival probability and use the Quantile Profiler to identify median survival time

See how to:

• Determine the drivers of customer attrition (churn) and predict the expected customer retention duration

Thank you for very instructive and helpful videos and examples. I am trying to figure out how to deal with left censored data in environmental analysis, and will try to use the same statistics as employed in the videos for that. I have two questions, are the dataset used in the videos available in JMP dataset or here on the website? Secondly; are you aware of any resources (videos or demonstrations) on JMP about left censoring in environmental chemistry/analysis? 
Thanks again!

Hi again, I found the VA lung cancer dataset, so disregard my first question.
