Statistical Methods for Failure-Time Data

Shishir is the author of the article series Statistical Methods for Failure-Time Data.

This article series explores the application of different statistical methods to the analysis of failure-time data. The R programming language is used to demonstrate practical usage of these methods in order to estimate quantities of interest in the field of reliability (eg. probabilities of failure, failure rate, analysis of competing risks, hypothesis tests, regression analysis etc).
