Data Science Series

Survival Analysis for Beginners:
An Industrial Review of Time-to-Event Analysis

26-27 March 2019
6PM – 9PM

Algoritma Data Science Education Center
Menara Kadin Indonesia, 4th Floor

IDR 2,000,000

Course Summary

This 2-day workshop is a beginner-friendly introduction to survival analysis practice using R.

Survival analysis addresses questions such as:

  • How long will a particular customer remains loyal to your business?
  • Duration time until machine failure
  • How long should the duration of a marketing campaign be for it to be effective? And which channel?
  • Predicting policy cancellations or how long it takes to file an insurance claim

This workshop will equip you with hands-on experience in solving real-case data analysis using R. By learning how to perform a survival analysis on various business problems, students will learn the fundamentals importance of statistics practice in making a decision in the industry.

We will guide students in the right approach of completing a survival analysis exercise modeled after real-life business cases. The workshop is designed by Algoritma’s acclaimed team of instructors and we will help you kickstart your career in the data science industry.

NOTE: The workshop will be delivered in Bahasa Indonesia

Data Science Series

Workshops in our Data Science Series are tailored to casual learners, working professionals and non-programmers that are taking their first steps into data science and machine learning.

Students are not assumed to have a working knowledge of R or prior proficiency in statistics / mathematics / algebra. At such the workshop follows a gentle learning curve and emphasize on hands-on, one-to-one tutoring from our team of instructors and teaching assistants.

Consider taking our Data Science Intermediate workshops instead for more advanced-level materials in statistical programming and machine learning.

Past Workshops in this Series:

Students work through tons of real-life examples using sample datasets donated by our team of mentors and corporate partners. We believe in a learn-by-building approach, and we employ instructors who are uncompromisingly passionate about your growth and education.

Workshop Receivables:
