Abstract
We show that the generalized F family is a useful tool for regression analysis with censored survival data. We discuss maximum likelihood estimation and give asymptotic procedures for calculating confidence intervals, tests of significance for the parameters, life expectancy, quantiles and survival rates. Survival data on 704 ovarian carcinoma patients serve to demonstrate the utility of the model.Keywords
