The Definition of the Hazard Function in Survival Analysis

In this video, I define the hazard function of continuous survival data.  I break down this definition into its components and explain the intuitive motivation behind each component.  Please visit my blog, The Chemical Statistician (http://chemicalstatistician.wordpress..., to get your daily lesson on statistics, machine learning or chemistry.  On my blog, I write a longer weekly tutorial with deeper explanations and programming examples, and I occasionally write advice columns about working in statistics and science.  Please also follow me on Twitter @chemstateric (Twitter: chemstateric!
