One way of examining trade-offs between quantity and quality of life (QOL) is to combine them into a single measure such as quality-adjusted life year (QALY). If censoring occurs, then estimation presents some difficulties. One approach, known as Q-TWiST, is to define a series of health states, use

Quality of life data present considerable statistical challenges because of their longitudinal and multi- dimensional nature, and also because the available data are often very unbalanced through missing values. Here we exemplify the potential of multi-level models, that is, hierarchical random coe
The purpose of the paper is to present a new model of the data l~fe-cycle. Such a model is needed to clarify activities involving data, from its creation through use, and to establish the relation-Ships of these activities to one another. The proposed model features four principal data cycles: the a
## Abstract Shared random effects joint models are becoming increasingly popular for investigating the relationship between longitudinal and timeβtoβevent data. Although appealing, such complex models are computationally intensive, and quick, approximate methods may provide a reasonable alternative
