Abstract

Survival analysis is one of major and important fields in statistics and this is especially true from the point of biological and medical research. In addition, we also see the increasing of its applications in many other fields including demography, economics finance, political science, psychology and sociology. In this talk, we will first give some basic and simple introduction of survival analysis and then discuss several current research topics in the field related to the analysis of interval-censored survival data, a special and common type of survival data.
