We discuss the use of standard logistic regression techniques to estimate hazard rates and survival curves from censored data. These techniques allow the statistician to use parametric regression modeling on censored data in a flexible way that provides both estimates and standard errors. An example is given that demonstrates the increased structure that can be seen in a parametric analysis, as compared with the nonparametric Kaplan-Meier survival curves. In fact, the logistic regression estimates are closely related to Kaplan-Meier curves, and approach the Kaplan-Meier estimate as the number of parameters grows large.
The Journal of the American Statistical Association (JASA) has long been considered the premier journal of statistical science. Science Citation Index reported JASA was the most highly cited journal in the mathematical sciences in 1991-2001, with 16,457 citations, more than 50% more than the next most highly cited journals. Articles in JASA focus on statistical applications, theory, and methods in economic, social, physical, engineering, and health sciences and on new methods of statistical education.
