This chapter compares two Bayesian nonparametric models that generalize the accelerated failure time model, based on recent work on probability models for predictor-dependent probability distributions. It begins by reviewing ...

Robust estimators for accelerated failure time models with asymmetric (or symmetric) error distribution and censored observations are proposed. It is assumed that the error model belongs to a log-location-scale family of ...

We propose a fully nonparametric modelling approach for time-to-event regression data, when the response of interest can only be determined to lie in an interval obtained from a sequence of examination times and the ...

Software development innovations and advances in computing have enabled more complex and less costly computations in medical research (survival analysis), engineering studies (reliability analysis), and social sciences ...

Interval-censored survival data, in which the event of interest is not observed exactly but is only known to occur within some time interval, occur very frequently. In some situations, event times might be censored into ...

This paper discusses component age-related degradation and failure initiated from a shared cause and coupling factor (or mechanism) and the likelihood of the resulting common cause failure (CCF). For these components a CCF ...
