Ideas

đź’ˇ The present paper is largely concerned with the extension of the results of Kaplan and Meier to the comparison of life tables and more generally to the incorporation of regression-like arguments into life-table analysis.

I had the pleasure of discussing with Sir Cox during a statistical conference about 15 years ago. He is one of those people who leaves an impression that stays with you forever.
