The application of hazard function in the case study of the use of an IUD for woman

This dissertation presents the application of hazard function in the case study of the use of an IUD for women. The data in this case study is the secondary data that had been retrieved from Modeling Survival Data in Medical Research Second Edition by Collet, 1952. The Kernel nonparametric method an...
