"This book provides an in-depth discussion and explanation of the basics of frailty model methodology. The discussion includes parametric and semiparametric frailty models and accelerated failure time models. Common techniques to fit frailty models include the EM-algorithm, penalised likelihood techniques, Laplacian integration and Bayesian techniques. More advanced frailty models for hierarchical data are also included."--BOOK JACKET.
