Abstract:
Frailty effects are used to model heterogeneity in univariate
surival analysis or association in multivariate survival.
This talk reviews frailty models, discusses the consequence of
ignoring frailty and considers how frailty effects can be detected
and estimated.  A bivariate survival example is used to illustrate
the techniques.
