Title:
Semiparametric AFT model for survival data: inference,
implementation and theory
Abstract:
The accelerated failure time (AFT) model is an equivalent
version of the linear regression model, especially formulated
for survival data. Because of its many attractive
features and the link to the classical linear regression,
there have been many efforts made in the past two and a half
decades in developing inference procedures as well as related
theory. This talk will start with an overview of these efforts,
including difficulties encountered there of.
Some significant recent developments will then be described.
Special attention will be given to the inferential and
implementational aspects.
