    This study presents stochastic survival models adjusted for covariates, offering explicit solutions for maximum likelihood equations. These models are applied to analyze survival data in heart transplant and lung cancer patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Biostatistics
    • Survival Analysis
    • Medical Statistics

    Background:

    • Stochastic survival models are crucial for analyzing time-to-event data in medical research.
    • Existing models may not fully capture the complexities of covariate adjustments in survival analysis.
    • Beck (1979) developed foundational stochastic models with living and death states.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present explicit solutions for maximum likelihood equations in stochastic survival models.
    • To extend these models for scenarios involving one or two dichotomous covariates.
    • To demonstrate the application of these enhanced models in medical contexts.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of explicit solutions for maximum likelihood estimation.
    • Application of stochastic models with irreversible transitions and time-independent covariate-dependent intensity functions.
