Special Issue on Survival Analysis and Its Applications

Survival analysis is just another name for time to event analysis. The term survival analysis is predominately used in biomedical sciences where the interest is in observing time to death either of patients or of laboratory animals. Time to event analysis has also been used widely in the social sciences where interest is on analyzing time to events such as job changes, marriage, birth of children and so forth. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of Survival Analysis and Its Applications.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Survival Analysis and Its Applications. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Survival and hazard functions
• Kaplan-Meier survival estimate
• Important distributions in survival analysis
• Fitting parameters to data
• Non-parametric estimation
• Computer software for survival analysis
• Distributions used in survival analysis
• Applications of survival analysis

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Survival Analysis and Its Applications” should be chosen during your submission.
