This is a monograph on the concept of residual life, which is an
alternative summary measure of time-to-event data, or survival
data. The mean residual life has been used for many years under the
name of life expectancy, so it is a natural concept for summarizing
survival or reliability data. It is also more interpretable than
the popular hazard function, especially for communications between
patients and physicians regarding the efficacy of a new drug in the
medical field. This book reviews existing statistical methods to
infer the residual life distribution. The review and comparison
includes existing inference methods for mean and median, or
quantile, residual life analysis through medical data examples. The
concept of the residual life is also extended to competing risks
analysis. The targeted audience includes biostatisticians, graduate
students, and PhD (bio)statisticians. Knowledge in survival
analysis at an introductory graduate level is advisable prior to
reading this book.
