Inference for survival models with doubly interval censored data and fixed or time dependent covariate
Book Chapter
Kiani, K., & Arasan, J. Inference for survival models with doubly interval censored data and fixed or time dependent covariate. In S. Ao, L. Gelman, & H. Kim (Eds.), Transactions on Engineering Technologies (187-203). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-32-9531-5_14

In this research inference for survival models with doubly interval censored (DIC) data and fixed or time dependent covariate is discussed. DIC data usually arise in follow-up studies where the lifetime, T = W − V  is the elapsed time between two rel...
