It clearly shows how this innovative new methodology can be used to analyze data from semi-Markov processes without prior knowledge of stochastic processes--opening the door to interesting applications in survival analysis and reliability as well as stochastic processes.Unlike other books on multistate time-to-event data, this work emphasizes reliability and not just biostatistics, illustrating each method withWiley Series in Probability and StatisticsFlowgraphsStochastic processesReliability (Engineering)Statistical methodsFlowgraphs.Stochastic processes.Reliability (Engineering)Statistical methods.510.8519.542Huzurbazar Aparna V.1966-1657085MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830076103321Flowgraph models for multistate time-to-event data4010294UNINA
