title: Interval censored survival data: a generalized linear modelling approach.
abstract: A method is described for weak parametric modelling of arbitrarily interval censored survival data using generalized linear models. The method makes use of an associated Bernoulli model, with standard errors based on the observed information matrix. Three types of models are discussed: additive and multiplicative hazard models with piecewise constant baseline hazard, and a proportional hazards model with discrete baseline survivor function. These models may be fitted in the statistical package GLIM.
