Prediction of long term stability by extrapolation [PDF]
This paper studies the possibility of using the survival function to predict long term stability by extrapolation. The survival function is a function of the initial coordinates and is the number of turns a particle will survive for a given set of ...

Preimplantation biopsy predicts delayed graft function, glomerular filtration rate and long-term graft survival of transplanted kidneys [PDF]
Background The predictive value of preimplantation biopsies for long-term graft function is often limited by conflicting results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of time-zero graft biopsy histological scores on early and late graft ...

Analysis of survival data with cross-effects of survival functions [PDF]
We present a model and semiparametric estimation procedures for analysis of survival data with cross-effects (CE) of survival functions. Finite sample properties of the estimators are analyzed by simulation. A goodness-of-fit test for the proportional hazards model against the CE model is proposed. The well known data concerning effects of chemotherapy

"Suboptimal" kidney donors: The experience with tacrolimus-based immunosuppression [PDF]
Female, pediatric, and older donors have been associated with inferior graft survival after renal transplantation. We analyzed these three subgroups in 397 patients receiving tacrolimus-based immunosuppression. There were no differences in recipient age,

A New Lifetime Distribution with Decreasing and Upside-Down Bathtub-Shaped Hazard Rate Function
We introduce a new lifetime distribution, called the alpha-power transformed Lomax (APTL) distribution which generalizes the Lomax distribution to provide better fits than the Lomax distribution and some of its known generalizations.

Comparison of nonparametric estimates of the survival functions
The article compares three types of estimates: exponential, multiplying and power structures for the survival function of three random censoring observations on the right. It was previously established that all these three estimates are equivalent with a

Aging functions and multivariate notions of NBU and IFR [PDF]
For d≥2, let X=(X1, …, Xd) be a vector of exchangeable continuous lifetimes with joint survival function $\overline{F}$. For such models, we study some properties of multivariate aging of $\overline{F}$ that are described by means of the multivariate ...

Estimating Propensity Scores and Causal Survival Functions Using Prevalent Survival Data [PDF]
SummaryThis article develops semiparametric approaches for estimation of propensity scores and causal survival functions from prevalent survival data. The analytical problem arises when the prevalent sampling is adopted for collecting failure times and, as a result, the covariates are incompletely observed due to their association with failure time ...
