Abstract
Tree-structured methods for exploratory data analysis have previously been extended to right-censored survival data. We further extend these methods to allow for truncation and time-dependent covariates. We apply the new methods to a data set on incubation times of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), using calendar time as a time-dependent covariate. Contrary to expectation, we find that rates of progression to AIDS appear to be faster after August 1989 than before.Entities:
