Title: Inference for Change Point in Time-to-Event Data
Speaker: Dong-Yun Kim, Ph.D. Mathematical Statistician, National Heart Lung and Blood Institute
Abstract: While change points occur in many scientific studies, systematic approach has been relatively modest due to their enormous diversity and lack of proper technical tools. In this talk, we discuss how to test and estimate a change point in the hazard rate function. We use two well-known medical data sets to illustrate the methods, and discuss the advantages of statistical models that allows for a change point.
