生存分析是一个非常活跃的研究领域， 应用范围涵盖物理、工程、生物和 社会科学 此外，生存技术研究人员 统计学家和生物统计学家，包括流行病学家， 可靠性工程师，人口学家和经济学家， 区域持续时间分析 这笔赠款将部分支持一个国际讲习班， 生存分析和有关问题，将于1991年6月在 俄亥俄州州立大学。 两个不同的小组正在进行研究 在生存分析领域。 可靠性和寿命试验 小组专注于物理系统的生存分析，主要是 从参数化的角度来看。 生物统计组的研究 用于生物医学科学的技术及其用途 非参数或半参数方法。 这个项目的主要目标是 研讨会将提供一个论坛， 这些团体，使用贝叶斯方法，为了开发一个 研究环境导致各种想法的综合。

Survival analysis is a highly active area of research with applications spanning the physical, engineering, biological, and social sciences. Researchers in survival techniques, in addition to statisticians and biostatisticians, include epidemiologists, reliability engineers, demographers and economists, who call this area duration analysis. This grant will partially support an international workshop on Survival Analysis and Related Topics, to be held in June, 1991 at the Ohio State University. Two distinct groups are doing research in the area of Survival Analysis. The reliability and life testing group focuses on survival analysis for physical systems, primarily from a parametric viewpoint. The biostatistical group studies techniques for use in the biomedical sciences, and uses nonparametric or semiparametric methods. The major goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for an exchange of ideas between these groups, using the Bayesian approach, in order to develop an environment for research leading to a synthesis of various ideas.
