Parametric and Semiparametric Models with Applications to Reliability, Survival Analysis, and Quality of Life (Statistics for Industry and Technology) (Reprint)

Parametric and semiparametric models are tools with a wide range of applications to reliability, survival analysis, and quality of life. While a number of chapters deal with general theory, several explore more specific connections and recent results in "real-world" reliability theory, survival analysis, and related fields.
