Abstract

The shared frailty model is relevant to event time of the related individuals, similar organs and repeated measurements. In this model individuals from a group shares common covariates. For the shared frailty model, it is assumed that survival times are conditionally independent, for given shared frailty. Shared frailty means dependence between survival times is only due to unobservable covariates or frailty.
