Title
Breast Cancer Survival Analysis

Summary
Survival Analysis will be conducted using one or several various survival techniques in order to examine how the techniques themselves behave using real world breast cancer data. Measures of error, such as bias and root mean square error, will be analyzed in the techniques used and reported to support how the techniques behave.

Aims

Examine survival modeling techniques using real world data.
Compare survival of breast cancer survivors across age, race/ethnicity, and gender.
