โฆ Synopsis
A computer program is described based on the method of Mantel and Byar to compare the survival experience of two groups of patients when transitions (crossovers) occur between treatment groups. The program allows for at most one transition per case and computes the Mantel-Haenszel statistic as well as an overall estimate of relative risk. Data from the Stanford Heart Transplant program [2] are used to illustrate use of the program.

Life table analysis has traditionally been the tool of choice in analyzing distribution of "survival" times when a parametric form for the survival curve could not be reasonably assumed. Chiang, in two papers [1,2] formalized the theory of life table analyses in a Markov chain framework and derived
A computer program for estimating survival functions from the life table, Computer Programs in Biomedicine 1 (1969) 00-00. This computer program provides a characterization of a set of survival time data in terms of three survival functions, each of which illustrates a different aspect of the data.
This paper presents a computer program for analyzing time-dependent covariables in survival studies by the life table regression model described by Holford [ 3 ]. Basically, life table regression incorporates the elements of regression and the life table into a single model. Regression parameters ar
A program has been written to compute life tables with fittings to the Coale and Demeny West, and Weiss table survivorships for the purposes of comparison between populations. A graphics option allows for the plotting of the various life table functions, thus allowing for the immediate assessment of
