Abstract
This book has several aims. Of course, on the general level it is to present the multivariate survival data and their analysis. In more detail, it is first to guide the statistician into selecting the most appropriate model for the actual subject matter problem and the actual multivariate survival data set. Second, the aim is to present the available approaches so that they can be used when they are relevant. To judge the relevance, it is important to include a description of the advantages and disadvantages of each single approach. Finally, a more subtle aim is to put all the approaches in a common frame and also describe the similarities between the various data types and approaches.
