Stochastic modelling of the hybrid survival curve by Tan, Chong It, Li, Jackie, Li, Johnny Siu-Hang, Balasooriya, Uditha

“…In this paper, building upon the idea of cross-sectional survival probabilities developed by Brouard (Espaces Popul Soc 2(14–15):157–168, 1986), we propose using stochastic models to study the evolution of a new type of survival curves called hybrid survival curve. We find that the three-factor survival model provides a better model fitting than the two-factor survival model. …”
