    Main Methods:

    • Review of common mathematical models for survival data.
    • Discussion of statistical techniques for model selection.
    • Methods for assessing goodness-of-fit for survival models.
    • Brief analysis of model misspecification effects.

    Main Results:

    • Multiple mathematical representations exist for survival time distributions.
    • Model choice significantly impacts survival analysis outcomes.
    • Proper goodness-of-fit assessment is vital for model validation.
    • Model misspecification can lead to biased results.

    Conclusions:

    • Selecting the correct survival model is essential for reliable analysis.
    • Understanding model assumptions and limitations is critical.
    • Careful model evaluation prevents erroneous conclusions in survival studies.
