Parametric and semiparametric models are tools with a wide range of applications to reliability, survival analysis, and quality of life. This self-contained volume examines these tools in survey articles written by experts currently working on the development and evaluation of models and methods. While a number of chapters deal with general theory, several explore more specific connections and recent results in real-world reliability theory, survival analysis, and related fields. Specific topics covered include:
* cancer prognosis using survival forests
* short-term health problems related to air pollution: analysis using semiparametric generalized additive models
* semiparametric models in the studies of aging and longevity
This book will be of use as a reference text for general statisticians, theoreticians, graduate students, reliability engineers, health researchers, and biostatisticians working in applied probability and statistics.
