survival analysis with a bivariate outcome

2000-01-07 Thread jfdiaz
I'm interested in analyzing two time-to-event variables simultaneously, using a survival model. Each one of the subjects would be given the drug, and each one would have two time-to event variables measured (For example time to analgesia and time to improvement of disability). The outcome would no

Hi! I'm a student of statistics and I'd like to buy some English literature, since I believe that the German literature available is not as good as the English. So I'm looking for some literature for the first two years of statistics (undergraduate), especially for probability theory, inference

Y2K and computer clocks

I left my old laptop (486 running Windows 3.1) powered on on new year's eve, with the clock displayed on the desktop. At the stroke of midnight, it changed the date from 12-31-99 to 01-04-80. I reset it manually, and it has kept time fine since. I did find the file manager had problems dis

Like other people I know, I left my computers off on New Year's eve, and started them up again the next day. My 386 running DOS had reset the date to 1980, which I assume is when the BIOS was created (that was the only problem). The date program refused to accept any year outside the window 198

Hi. I've written code for a computer algebra system for determining the PDF of discrete order statistics. I'm looking for applications to demonstrate the usefulness of this code. For example, here's one application from Hogg & Craig's Mathematical Statistics book from 1995: Ex. Draw 15 cards at r

Can anyone help me with the construction of confidence and prediction intervals for time series forecasts? I am familiar with CIs and PIs for estimated values of y ( y = B0 + B1x) with ordinary least squares regression. In this case, I have a naive time series model that has been transformed to
