Regression Analysis of Multivariate Incomplete Failure Time Data by Modeling Marginal Distributions
通过边际分布建模分析多元不完整失效时间数据
Many survival studies record the times to two or more distinct failures on each subject. The failures may be events of different natures or may be repetitions of the same kind of event. In this article, we consider the regression analysis of such multivariate failure time observations. Each marginal distribution of the failure times is formulated by a Cox proportional hazards model. No specific structure of dependence among the distinct failure times on each subject is…
