Abstract

Several authors have considered long-term survival data modeling with a destructive component. During the abroad research, we will study the semiparametric and parametric approaches. In conjunction with Professor Pranab Sen, we will consider the inclusion of new biological mechanisms in the modeling using non-homogenious stochastic process. We desire to evaluate the inclusion of a generative component in the destructive model. (AU)
