Nonparametric and Semiparametric Methods for Multivariate Failure Time Data

Nonparametric survival function estimates and semiparametric regression for the multivariate failure time data with right-censoring. For nonparametric survival function estimates, the Volterra, Dabrowska, and Prentice-Cai estimates for bivariate failure time data may be computed as well as the Dabrowska estimate for the trivariate failure time data. Bivariate marginal hazard rate regression can be fitted for the bivariate failure time data. Functions are also provided to compute (bootstrap) confidence intervals and plot the estimates of the bivariate survival function.
