Modelling conditional distributions in bivariate survival
Abstract
Conditional distributions for bivariate survival can be obtained via a model for the joint distribution, or, as has sometimes been suggested, by modelling the conditioned variable directly, with the conditioning variable included as a covariate. A quantitative comparison of estimated covariate effects and predictive distributions under the two approaches is given. The results are illustrated in a novel frailty application.
