On the Generalized Odd Transmuted Two-Sided Class of Distributions
In this paper, a general class of two-sided lifetime distributions is introduced via odd ratio function, the well-known concept in survival analysis and reliability engineering.

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

Delayed graft function influences renal function but not survival [PDF]
In renal transplantation, the impact of delayed graft function (DGF) on prognosis is controversial. We analyzed the risk factors of DGF and its impact on graft function and prognosis.Seven hundred thirty-four cadaveric renal transplants performed between 1983 and 1997 were analyzed.

We present the truncated Lindley-G (TLG) model, a novel class of probability distributions with an additional shape parameter, by composing a unit distribution called the truncated Lindley distribution with a parent distribution function G(x).

Generating Survival Times to Simulate Cox Proportional Hazards Models [PDF]
This paper discusses techniques to generate survival times for simulation studies regarding Cox proportional hazards models. In linear regression models, the response variable is directly connected with the considered covariates, the regression ...

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

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.

GAPDH in neuroblastoma: Functions in metabolism and survival
Neuroblastoma is a pediatric cancer of neural crest cells. It develops most frequently in nerve cells around the adrenal gland, although other locations are possible. Neuroblastomas rely on glycolysis as a source of energy and metabolites, and the enzymes that catalyze glycolysis are potential therapeutic targets for neuroblastoma.

The study addresses two questions that are under debate in the literature and exemplifies their examination in alpine ski racing. Firstly, are successful athletes the product of a long-term continuous intervention and/or socialization process or do they ...
