Abstract: Abstract In many areas of science, interest centers on the time it takes for an event to occur. For example, product engineers monitor how long a device lasts before it fails; developmental psychologists study the emergence of language; and educators track how long it takes students to master some task. Historically, issues of this nature were investigated by researchers studying mortality, so the name “survival analysis” is used as an umbrella term to cover any sort of “time-to-event” analysis, even when the event has nothing to do with life or death. For example, the time it takes an athlete to reach maximum heart rate on a treadmill (see final section of Chap. 11 ) can be modeled using survival analysis.
