Abstract: | Interval-censored survival data, in which the event of interest is not observed exactly but is only known to occur within
some time interval, occur very frequently. In some situations, event times might be censored into different, possibly overlapping
intervals of variable widths; however, in other situations, information is available for all units at the same observed visit
time. In the latter cases, interval-censored data are termed grouped survival data. Here we present alternative approaches
for analyzing intervalcensored data. We illustrate these techniques using a survival data set involving mango tree lifetimes.
This study is an example of grouped survival data. |
