Frailty models have emerged as a pivotal tool in survival analysis, offering a robust framework to account for unobserved heterogeneity and dependence between paired failure times. In bivariate ...

Although nonparametric analyses of bivariate failure times under independent censoring have been widely studied, nonparametric analyses of bivariate competing-risks data have not yet been investigated ...

In this note it is shown that P(η - ξ > 0) can easily be calculated using tables of the bivariate normal distribution, where ξ, η are independent, ξ has a normal distribution, and η has a truncated ...
