Modelling Heterogeneity in Survival Analysis by the Compound Poisson Distribution
Modelling Heterogeneity in Survival Analysis by the Compound Poisson Distribution
When making probabilistic models for survival times, one should consider the fact that individuals are heterogeneous. The observed changes in population intensities (or hazard rates) over time are a mixed result of two influences: on the one hand, the actual changes in the individual hazards, and, on the other hand, …
