ABSTRACT
It is more and more often the case, in clinical research, that the 
interest lies in characterizing the association between time-to-event 
data and dynamic (or time-varying) covariates. This task is not new to 
the literature, but only in the last years Functional Data Analysis 
(FDA) came into play for properly representing time-varying covariates, 
so to plug them into suitable statistical models and obtain more 
accurate predictions. In this talk, we will exploit the joint use of FDA 
within time-to-event framework as a tool for risk stratification and 
personalized prediction, motivated by a real problem where the overall 
survival of patients affected by chronic conditions is considered. The 
aim of the study is to predict survival, properly quantifying how 
processes like drug assumptions, re-hospitalizations and longitudinal 
biomarkers act on it.
