Abstract

Survival analysis or time-to-event analysis is a branch of statistics dealing with death (failure) or degradation in biological organisms, mechanical or electronic systems, or other areas. This topic is called reliability theory or reliability analysis in engineering, and duration analysis or duration modeling in economics or sociology.
