✦ Synopsis

Longini and Halloran and Halloran et al. recently developed a method for estimation of parameters related to the efficacy of a vaccine and to the transmission of an infectious disease from time-to-event (disease or infection) data. This work uses their method to evaluate the individual and population effectiveness of a vaccination programme (Haber et al.). Data from an outbreak of measles in Chad illustrates the new methods.

The principal response criteria for many clinical trials involve time-to-event variables. Usual methods of analysis for this type of response criterion include product-limit estimators of cumulative survival for the treatment groups, (stratified) logrank tests to compare treatments, and proportional
