Abstract
In this work we present a new methodology proposed to study the survival time of Acquired Immune-Deficiency Syndrome diagnosed patients. This methodology is very flexible because it does not need the assumption of proportional hazards and the estimation is carried out without assuming any probability distribution for the variable of interest. The inference in the model has been put forward using bootstrap techniques. The main conclusion of the study is that the age of the patients and the period of diagnosis are relevant variables to explain the survival time for these patients.
