Empirical Bayes Analysis of Families of Survival Curves: Applications to the Analysis of Degree Attainment.

Braun, Henry I.; Zwick, Rebecca

Journal of Educational Statistics, v18 n4 p285-303 Win 1993

An approach to empirical Bayes analysis of aggregated survival data from different groups of subjects is presented based on a contingency table representation of data using transformations to permit the use of normal priors. Analysis of families of survival curves leads to improvements over classical estimates. (SLD)
