Evaluation of Response-Time Data Involving Transient States: An Illustration Using Heart-Transplant Data
Modified life tables can be constructed which reflect changes in an individual's status, and associated measures of relative risk and statistical significance calculated, when the group membership of an individual can be arbitrarily varied during a study.
The choice of treatment for cancer patients based on covariate information.
This paper discusses the analysis of data from clinical trials in an effort to determine whether comparisons of treatment in various subsets of patients yield sufficiently different results to…
