This paper introduces a general or "distribution-free" model to analyze the lifetime of components under accelerated life testing. Unlike the accelerated failure time (AFT) models, the proposed model shares the advantage of being "distribution-free" with the proportional hazard (PH) model and overco

The Cox proportional hazards model is the most popular model for the analysis of survival data. Time-dependent covariates can be included in a straightforward manner. In most cases such covariates will be binary, indicating some form of changing group membership, with individuals starting in group 0
Brookmeyer and Crowley derived a non-parametric confidence interval for the median survival time of a homogeneous population by inverting a generalization of the sign test for censored data. The 1a confidence interval for the median is essentially the set of all values t such that the Kaplan-Meier e
The use of CD4#T-lymphocyte counts as a covariate presents some unique challenges in survivorship analyses due to the variability of this marker. If one does not account for the measurement error component of this variability in some manner, the estimate of the relative risk parameter in a time-depe
