In failure time analyses, time-dependent covariates are only rarely used. In some clinical studies, however, consideration of available covariate information over time could be relevant to understanding complex disease processes. We propose the time-dependent Cox model and the linear model of Aalen

Interval-censored failure time data often occur, for example, in clinical trials or longitudinal studies. For the regression analysis of such data, there have been a number of methods proposed based on continuous regression models such as Cox's proportional hazards model. In practice, however, obser
This paper concerns the regression analysis of discrete time survival data for heterogeneous populations by means of frailty models. We express the survival time for each individual as a sequence of binary variables that indicate if the individual survived at each time point. The main result is that
Research on a discrete-time model of failure and repair studied by Rocha-Martinez and Shaked (1995) is continued in this paper. Among various related results, we prove that if for one point x3]0, 1[ the probability generating function of a non-negative integer valued random variable S satisfies 1 (x
The primary endpoint of AIDS prophylaxis trials is the occurrence of opportunistic infections. While the treatments are not expected to have an effect on the underlying HIV disease, an effect of treatments on mortality cannot be ruled out. Therefore, the primary analysis of these trials must be base
