The statistical software package R will be used to model real survival data. To support your learning, we have created a set of self-paced tutorials. The tutorials includes quizzes and more substantial exercises. You do not need to start it until after you have studied Chapter 7.

If you are new to R or would like a refresher, we have also repurposed some self-paced R tutorials used in other modules. Instructions for installing R and RStudio on your own machine are available here, and the repurposed tutorials are available here.

Additionally, drop-in support sessions for R will be available. More details will be provided once the schedule is confirmed.


The self-paced tutorial can be accessed here (developed by Dr Antony Overstall).
