Correlated individual frailty:  an advantageous approach to survival analysis of bivariate data.
"We develop a new model of bivariate survival based on the notion of correlated individual frailty.  We analyze the properties of this model and suggest a new approach to the analysis of bivariate data that does not require a parametric specification--but permits estimation--of the form of the hazard function for individuals.  We empirically demonstrate the advantages of the model in the statistical analysis of bivariate data."  (SUMMARY IN FRE)
