The joint cumulative hazard function associated with a bivariate distribution is estimated by its empirical version which generalizes Nelson-Aalen's estimator. A test of independence for bivariate ...

Abstract: A major goal in recurrent events analysis is to estimate the bivariate distribution function. This estimation is crucial across various fields and applications, as it helps clarify the ...

Abstract: Embedded applications use more and more sophisticated computations. These computations can integrate the composition of elementary functions which have to be approximated. In the context of ...
