Evolution Model for Epidemic Diseases Based on the Kaplan-Meier Curve Determination
Mathematics, 2020 We show a simple model of the dynamics of a viral process based, on the determination of the Kaplan-Meier curve P of the virus. Together with the function of the newly infected individuals I, this model allows us to predict the evolution of the resulting

Kaplan–Meier Estimator under Association
Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 1998 This work studies the Kaplan-Meier estimator and the estimation of the hazard function in a model with censored failure times. The true survival times \(T_1,\dots T_n\), with common marginal \(F\), are not assumed mutually independent. They satisfy two different notions of weak dependence: a) They are positively associated, i.e.

A Generalized Kaplan-Meier Estimator
The Annals of Statistics, 1984 A class of nonparametric maximum likelihood estimators of the survival function based on incomplete or right-censored data is derived in the general situation that the time to death and the time to loss (censoring) are not necessarily independent. This is the competing risks problem with two causes of failure.
