Conference Information
SAfJR is an event that is aimed at career-young statisticians with an interest in survival analysis and related research areas. The conference offers an excellent opportunity for young researchers to present and discuss their work.
The conference will start on Wednesday, March 19, 2025 in the morning and end on Friday, March 21, 2025, at 1pm.
On Wednesday morning, the conference opens with contributed talks, including a presentation by Morten Overgaard (Aarhus, Denmark) on regression analysis using jack-knife pseudo-observations.
