Survival Analysis: Models and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce a Special Issue on “Survival Analysis: Models and Applications”. Survival analysis has a broad range of applications in fields that deal with time-to-event data, such as public health, engineering, biomedical science, actuarial science, and environmental science. This Special Issue will present a collection of the latest developments in survival models and their applications to new subject-matter challenges. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, flexible but interpretable regression models, Bayesian survival models, spatial survival models, competing risk models, cure rate models, discrete survival models, methods for analyzing data in non-standard settings, and software development. Manuscripts that apply state-of-the-art survival models to new and ongoing real-world problems (e.g., the COVID-19 epidemic) are especially welcome.

I look forward to receiving your submissions. 

Sincerely, 

Dr. Haiming Zhou
Guest Editor
