Note to moderator: Read the answerline carefully. Miguel Hernán pointed out that a ratio arising from this data lacks a useful causal interpretation because of a built-in selection bias. The often-violated namesake assumption of a semiparametric model used for this data can be checked by plotting Schoenfeld residuals. Popular textbooks on this type of data include ones written by the duos Kalbfleisch & Prentice and Klein & Moeschberger. Common features of this type of data are left (*) truncation and right censoring. AFT models might assume this kind of data follows a Weibull distribution. The Kaplan-Meier estimator is used for the namesake function of this type of data, which is fit in the Cox proportional hazards model. This data’s namesake function is defined as “one minus the CDF.” For 10 points, name this kind of data that records how long it takes until an event occurs, often death. ■END■
ANSWER: survival data [or time-to-event data; or lifetime data; or duration or failure; accept time-to-death or time-to-failure; prompt on censored or truncated data until read; prompt on answers that mention time; reject “time series data” or “longitudinal data”]
