Frailty models are now widely used for analyzing multivariate survival data. An open question is how best to determine how to select the most
appropriate frailty structure supported by the data. Herein, we develop a ...
We revisit the crossing hazards problem in survival analysis and compare the use of Cox's semi-parametric model with a parametric non-PH model
from the generalised time-dependent logistic family(GTDL). A set of gastric ...
We develop an analysis of the reliability of reliability data following
a negative exponential distribution and subject to type I censoring. Our main
focus is to determine the role of the particular analytical approach ...

Testing is an essential part of the software
development lifecycle. However, it can cost a lot of time and
money to perform. For mobile applications, this problem is
further exacerbated by the need to develop apps in a ...
Minimally Unsatisfiable Subformulas (MUS) find a wide
range of practical applications, including product configuration,
knowledge-based validation, and hardware and software
design and verification. MUSes also find ...
The current difficult economic conditions place organisations under
greater pressure than ever to increase performance and achieve efficiencies.
In such times, organisations must ensure the portfolio of
engineering ...

Music therapy is a valuable tool in distracting children with severe burns for the
pain experienced in daily debridement baths. Music therapy allows choice. facilitaling
the child's sense of being in control. and provides ...
In this paper we investigate the use of accelerated Weibull hazard
model. We compare it with Logistic Accelerated Hazard model. The models are
used to analyze survival data from the Northern Ireland lung cancer study ...
