title: Higher Dimensional Clayton-Oakes Models for Multivariate Failure Time Data.
abstract: The Clayton-Oakes bivariate failure time model is extended to dimensionsm> 2 in a manner that allows unspecified marginal survivor functions for all dimensions less thanm. Special cases that allow unspecified marginal survivor functions of dimensionqwithq<m, while making some provisions for dependencies of dimension greater thanq, are also described.
