Life tables with concomitant information.
A regression model for the analysis of survival data adjusting for concomitant information is developed. The model presented can lead to the log linear exponential model (Glasser [1967]) and the life table regression model of Cox [1972]. In addition, the model described can be used to analyze data from the commonly employed actuarial life table. A discussion of the special case where one is comparing two survival curves is presented. The methods developed are illustrated using data from a clinical trial investigating treatments for lung cancer.
