Quantitative Methods Questions
Survival analysis, also known as time-to-event analysis, is a statistical method used to analyze the time until an event of interest occurs. It is commonly used in various fields, including political science, to study the duration until an event such as death, failure, or success. Survival analysis takes into account censoring, which occurs when the event of interest has not yet occurred for some individuals at the end of the study period. This method allows researchers to estimate the probability of an event happening at a given time and to identify factors that may influence the timing of the event.
