Survival Time of Women with Cervical Cancer Using Frailty Models.

      Аннотация: Survival analysis is the study of the distribution of life times. That is, it is the study of the elapsed time between an initiating event (birth, start of treatment, diagnosis, or start of operation) and a terminal event (death, relapse, cure, or machine failure). The data values are a mixture of complete (terminal event occurred) and censored (terminal event has not occurred) observations. From the data values, the survival analyst makes statements about the survival distribution of the failure times. This distribution allows questions about such quantities as survivability, expected life time, and mean time to failure to be answered.
