IDL Analyst Reference Guide: Survival Analysis |
|
The routine described in this chapter has primary application in the areas of reliability and life testing, but they may find application in any situation in which time is a variable of interest. Kalbfleisch and Prentice (1980), Elandt-Johnson and Johnson (1980), Lee (1980), Gross and Clark (1975), Lawless (1982), and Chiang (1968) are references for discussing the models and methods used here. IMSL_SURVIVAL_GLM fits any of several generalized linear models, and computes estimates of survival probabilities based on the same models.
