Abstract: Regression models may be fitted to censored survival data by the use of exponential, Weibull and extreme value distributions in glim. Standard probability plotting procedures for uncensored data may be modified to allow for censoring. A simultaneous test procedure may be used to determine a minimal adequate regression model. The procedure is briefly illustrated on two sets of published cancer survival data.
