Introduction to Cox (1972) Regression Models and Life-Tables

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Statistics ((PSS))

Abstract

In this paper, Sir David Cox proposed a stimulating and pioneering procedure for the regression analysis of censored failure time data. Within a few years of publication, this procedure became a data analytic standard in a number of application areas, most notably in the biomedical sciences. The procedure has also stimulated considerable related methodologic development.
