survival analysis
branch of statistics for analyzing the expected duration of time until one or more significant events happen, such as death in biological organisms and failure in mechanical systems

table which shows probability of death

frequency with which an engineered system or component fails

complementary cumulative distribution function of a random variable modelling time to an event

class of statistical survival models
censoring
in statistics, engineering, medical research, and other technical disciplines, condition in which the value of a measurement or observation is only partially known
hazard ratio
ratio of the hazard rates corresponding to the conditions described by two levels of an explanatory variable
prognostics
Prognostics is an engineering discipline focused on predicting the time at which a system or a component will no longer perform its intended function. This lack of performance is most often a failure beyond which the system can no longer be used to meet desired performance. The predicted time then becomes the remaining useful life (RUL), which is an important concept in decision making for contingency mitigation. Prognostics predicts the future performance of a component by assessing the extent of deviation or degradation of a system from its expected normal operating conditions. The science o

hypothesis test to compare the survival distributions of two samples
