Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Survival Analysis
  • Statistical Modeling

Background:

  • Mixed linear models are increasingly used in biomedical research for multivariate normal survival data.
  • These models capture dependence through random effects, focusing on conditional survival times.
