Flowgraph models for multistate time-to-event data
1 online resource (xii, 270 pages) : illustrations
"This book offers a practical, application-based approach to flowgraph models for time-to-event data. It clearly shows how this innovative new methodology can be used to analyze data from semi-Markov processes without prior knowledge of stochastic processes - opening the door to interesting applications in survival analysis and reliability as well as stochastic processes." "Unlike other books on multistate time-to-event data, this work emphasizes reliability and not just biostatistics, illustrating each method with medical and engineering examples."--Jacket
