The MCMC methodology for these models is presented in a unified framework and applied on data sets. Among others, existing algorithms for the grouped Cox and the piecewise exponential model under interval censoring are combined with a data augmentation step for the applications. The author shows that the resulting Gibbs sampler works well for the grouped Cox and is merely adequate for the piecewise exponential model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eRelative Risk and Log-Location-Scale Family \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBayesian P-Splines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscrete Time Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous Time Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTarget Groups\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eResearchers and students in the fields of statistics, engineering, and life sciences \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractitioners in the fields of reliability engineering and data analysis involved with lifetimes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Author\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003eMatthias Kaeding obtained his Master of Science degree at the University of Bamberg in Survey Statistics.","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274708279447,"sku":"9783658083922","price":3639.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783658083922.webp?v=1769280724","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bayesian-analysis-of-failure-time-data-using-p-splines-9783658083922","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
