Survival Models

One-to-one support for LSE's Survival Models module, with help understanding the main ideas, keeping up with the work, and preparing confidently for assessments.

About

Introduces stochastic processes and survival modelling with actuarial and life-history applications. Students study process classification, Poisson and renewal processes, model selection, calibration, testing and the analysis of event-time data.

Support for ST227 Survival Models at LSE

Our tutoring for ST227 is designed to make the module feel more manageable. Sessions can focus on clarifying lecture material, rebuilding foundations, working through problem sets, data exercises, coding tasks and exam-style questions, and developing a clearer strategy for revision and assessed work. The aim is to help students understand the module deeply enough to apply the material independently, not just memorise model answers.

Common Challenges

Students often struggle with:

  • understanding the assumptions and intuition behind stochastic processes, with particular attention to survival modelling
  • choosing the right method when moving between process classification and poisson and renewal processes in problem sets, data work or coding tasks
  • interpreting estimates, diagnostics, proofs and output clearly in assessed answers
  • building a clear revision plan when the module starts to feel cumulative
How our tutors help

Our tutors can help by:

  • Reviewing the statistical or econometric intuition behind stochastic processes, with particular attention to survival modelling
  • Working through derivations and problem sets involving process classification
  • Applying poisson and renewal processes in data work and interpreting the resulting output
  • Building confidence with coding, proofs and exam-style questions
  • Tailoring sessions to the exact parts of ST227 that feel unclear
