Measuring the performances of covariates using exponential survival analysis with partly-interval censored simulation data by Muhamad Jamil, Siti Afiqah, Lai, Jessintha, Abdullah, Mohd Asrul Affendi

“…This paper aims at proposing the partly-interval censored data into the fixed and time-varying covariates and measure the performances of Exponential survival distribution using mean square error (MSE), mean bias error (MBE), mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and standard error. As a result, when dealing the data without censored observations, the exponential distribution significantly fit the simulation data since low values of error measurements appeared when the data included the exact and complete types of simulation. …”
