Estimation of the Base Hazard Function by Bootstrapping

This thesis examines the techniques in estimating the base hazard function by bootstrapping. The base hazard function is a crucial part of survival analysis. It is used to construct an estimate of the proportional hazard model for every individual. As in many methods for analysing survival data,...
