תקציר	Bayesian cohort research follows a defined group of individuals over time to track outcomes, and uses Bayesian statistical inference to update beliefs about risk, incidence, or causal effects as follow-up data accumulate. Prior knowledge — from earlier studies, registries, or expert judgment — is formalised into a prior distribution and combined with the cohort's likelihood to yield a posterior distribution that quantifies uncertainty in a directly interpretable way.	Survival analysis is a collection of statistical methods for modeling time from a defined starting point until an event of interest occurs (disease, recovery, death, equipment failure). Kaplan and Meier's nonparametric estimator (1958) and David Cox's proportional hazards model (1972) jointly enabled analysis of censored data—individuals whose event times are unknown because they left the study or were still event-free at follow-up. Indispensable in oncology, cardiology, infectious disease research, engineering reliability, and any field where time-to-event matters.
