Biplots display correlations and differences in means and standard deviations of many variables on one graph, together with the values of the plotted variables and approximations of the Euclidean distance between the observations. Biplots are useful for identifying clusters of observations,...

In the presence of dependent competing risks in survival analysis, the Cox proportional hazards model can be utilised to examine covariate effects on the cause-specific hazard function for each type of failure. The method proposed by Lunn and McNeil (1995) requires data augmentation. With k...
