Abstract
In this chapter, we, at first, give a short explanation why regression models are needed for many different types of survival data. Then, we introduce two very popular classes of survival analytic regression models and discuss the relationship between them. When examining the epilepsy dataset, we repeatedly use a particular parametric model called the Weibull model, which is therefore defined in this chapter.
