Learn about censoring, survival data, and the survivor
and hazard functions.
Find the empirical survivor functions and the parametric survivor functions
using the Burr type XII distribution fit on data for two groups.
Estimate and plot the cumulative hazard and survivor functions for different
groups.
Estimate the empirical hazard, survivor, and cumulative
distribution functions.
Adjust survival rate estimates to quantify the effect
of predictor variables.
Create a Cox proportional hazards model, and assess the significance of the
predictor variables.
Convert survival data to counting process form, and then construct a Cox
proportional hazards model with time-dependent covariates.
Analyze lifetime data with censoring by modeling the time to failure of a
throttle from an automobile fuel injection system.
