Résumé

The statistical analysis of lifetime or response time data is a key tool in engineering, medicine, and many other scientific and technological areas. This book provides a unified treatment of the models and statistical methods used to analyze lifetime data.

Equally useful as a reference for individuals interested in the analysis of lifetime data and as a text for advanced students, Statistical Models and Methods for Lifetime Data, Second Edition provides broad coverage of the area without concentrating on any single field of application. Extensive illustrations and examples drawn from engineering and the biomedical sciences provide readers with a clear understanding of key concepts.

New and expanded coverage in this edition includes:

Observation schemes for lifetime data
Multiple failure modes
Counting process-martingale tools
Both special lifetime data and general optimization software
Mixture models
Treatment of interval-censored and truncated data
Multivariate lifetimes and event history models
Resampling and simulation methodology

Contents
