Titre : Copulas and frailty models in multivariate survival data Auteurs : Nesrine Idiou, Fatah Benatia, Mounir Mesbah, Revue : Biostatistics and Health Sciences Numéro : Issue 1 Volume : 2 Date : 2021/03/1 DOI : 10.21494/ISTE.OP.2021.0618 ISSN : 2632-8291 Résumé : The study of copulas and their applications in statistics, and in particular in biostatistics, is recent. Copulas play a important role in the modeling of the dependence structure between the marginal distributions and the joint distribution of a vector random variable. In this article, we present a synthesis of recent works on this theory and its applications to the analysis of multivariate survival data. Finally, an application on bivariate survival data from the literature analyzed by the Proc Copula procedure of the SAS software, is given to illustrate a such approach. Éditeur : ISTE OpenScience
