Linear Regression Analysis for Highly Stratified Failure Time Data
高度分层失效时间数据的线性回归分析
In this article we consider cases where data consist of many small and independent groups of correlated failure time observations. For each failure time, which may be censored, some important covariates are also recorded. Our goal is to examine the covariate effects on the individual failure time observations. We assume that the logarithm of each failure time is linearly related to its covariates. We then take a population-averaged model approach to obtain inference…
