    Abstract: Survival analysis is the primary statistical method of analysing time to event data. The most popular method for estimating the survivor function is the Cox-Proportional Hazard model. It assumes that the effect on the hazard function of a particular factor of interest remains unchanged throughout the observation. This is known as Proportional Hazar... Show More
