ROLE OF AGEING METRICS TO ANALYSE THE SURVIVAL DATA OF TONGUE CANCER PATIENTS.

The paper vividly describes the non-parametric estimation of basic quantities for right censored data of times to death for patients with tongue cancer. Here we compare patients with two different sets of DNA profile using several parameters like reliability function, cumulative hazard rate function, smoothed hazard rate function and ageing intensity function. With the help of graphical representations of these functions, we analyse which DNA profile patients have better prognosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
