Like so many of the others on this forum, I've had terrible sinus headaches after having a root canal done 3 weeks ago. It started as soon as the Novocaine wore off. It was almost unbearable for the first 2 days. It began around my right eye and nose (the root canal was in my upper right side).
Survival analysis is generally defined as a set of methods for analyzing data where the outcome variable. is the time until the occurrence of an event of interest. The event can be death, occurrence of a disease, marriage, divorce, etc. The time to event or survival time can be measured in days, weeks, years, etc.
In the case of biological survival, death is unambiguous, but for mechanical reliability, failure may not be well-defined, for there may well be mechanical systems in which failure is partial, a matter of degree, or not otherwise localized in time.here t is some time, T is a random variable denoting the time of death, and Pr stands for probability. That is, the survival function is the probability that the time of death is later than some specified time t.
