Multistate Models for the Analysis of Life History Data provides the first comprehensive
treatment of multistate modeling and analysis, including parametric, nonparametric and …

This book introduces copula-based statistical methods to analyze survival data involving
dependent censoring. This book explains why the problem of dependent censoring arises in …

The estimation of loss reserves for incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims presents an
important task for insurance companies to predict their liabilities. Recently, individual claim …

In many follow-up studies, patients are subject to concurrent events. In this article, we
consider semicompeting risks data as defined by (2001, Biometrika 88, 907–919) where one …

In prevalent cohort studies with follow-up, the time-to-event outcome is subject to left
truncation leading to selection bias. For estimation of the distribution of the time to event …

Traditionally, the literature on statistical inference with left-truncated samples assumes the
independence of truncation variable on lifetime. Alternatively, this paper considers an …

Abstract The Mann–Whitney effect is a nonparametric measure for comparing the
distribution between two groups, which can be estimated by right-censored data. However …

Truncation is a mechanism that permits observation of selected subjects from a source
population; subjects are excluded if their event times are not contained within subject …

In ecology and evolutionary biology, controlled animal experiments are often conducted to
measure time to metamorphosis which is possibly censored by the competing risk of death …

The correlation ratio has been used to measure how much the behavior of one variable can
be predicted by the other variable. In this paper, we derive a new expression of the …
