Survival model with doubly interval-censored data and time-dependent covariates (2018)
Book Chapter
Kiani, K., & Arasan, J. (2018). Survival model with doubly interval-censored data and time-dependent covariates. In Lecture Notes in Engineering and Computer Science. Newswood Limited

In this paper a survival model with doubly interval censored (DIC) data and 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 related events, the first eve...
