I'm a postdoc at the moment, but I've taught survival analysis before. It just struck me as a particularly straightforward example with pretty clean data, a visible separation of the different groups, etc.

Basically, lots of people use the "Iris" data set to learn either data visualization or machine learning based classification. The same could be true of the "Backblaze Hard Drive" data, but for survival analysis/time-to-event statistics courses.




Very cool! What's a good way to reach you, I see your handle doesn't have an about section. My handle is my twitter handle if you would like to ping me and we can chat a bit more!
