library.surviv Submodule

Module Summary

Interfaces for the NAG Mark 30.3 surviv Chapter.

surviv - Survival Analysis

This module is concerned with statistical techniques used in the analysis of survival/reliability/failure time data.

Other modules contain functions which are also used to analyse this type of data. Submodule correg contains generalized linear models, submodule univar contains functions to fit distribution models, and submodule nonpar contains rank based methods.
