Modelling children under five mortality in South Africa using copula and frailty survival models

Mulaudzi, Tshilidzi Benedicta (2022)

This thesis is based on application of frailty and copula models to under five child mortality data set in South Africa. The main purpose of the study was to apply sample splitting techniques in a survival analysis setting ...
Modelling recurrent episodes of peritonitis among patients who are in peritoneal dialysis at Pietersburg Provincial Hospital, Limpopo Province, South Africa

Chavalala, Thembhani Hlayisani (2019)

Recurrent peritonitis is a major problem of peritoneal dialysis (PD) due to its association with technique failure in the dialysis process. The literature on peritonitis focused only on investigating major risk factors ...
New estimators for cure rate models

If study subjects are tracked long enough, it is a typical assumption in survival analysis that they will eventually experience the event of interest. However, that is not always the case. In reality, it is not uncommon ...
Survival analysis of time-to-first peritonitis among kidney patients who are on peritoneal analysis at Pietersburg Provincial Hospital, Limpopo Province, South Africa
