The discussion includes parametric and semiparametric frailty models and accelerated failure time models. Common techniques to fit frailty models include the EM-algorithm, penalised likelihood techniques, Laplacian integration and Bayesian techniques. More advanced frailty models for hierarchical data are also included."--BOOK JACKET. 0aStatistics.12aStatistics as Topic.22aSurvival AnalysisvCongresses.1 aJanssen, Paul. 0aStatistics for biology and health.
