Mai Zhou

Empirical Likelihood Method in Survival Analysis

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explains how to use the empirical likelihood method for right censored survival data. It focuses on all the standard survival analysis topics treated with empirical likelihood, including hazard functions, cumulative distribution functions, analysis of the Cox model, and computation of empirical likelihood for censored data. The author uses R for calculating empirical likelihood and includes many worked out examples with the associated R code. The datasets and code are available for download on his website and CRAN.
