| dc.description.abstract | Copula modelling has become an increasingly popular tool to model dependence. Copulas
helps to extract the dependence structure from the joint distribution function of a set
of random variables, and at the same time ,to separate the dependence structure from the
univariate marginal behaviour. In bivariate survival data, a copula function is used in modelling
dependence of frailty and discussion is on the effect of censoring on the dependence
model. | en |
