Based primarily on presentations at the eponymous seminar held in Europe in 2006, 21 papers describe work that considers key issues without excluding either the technical or the human factors. Topics include model selection for additive regression, estimation of conditional probabilities under bias sampling, inference in transformation models for arbitrarily truncated and censored data, applications of Poisson models and semi-Markov processes, bivariate Cox models, estimation of a class of survival functions, approximate likelihood, Cox regression with missing values of a covariate having an effect on risk of failure, Bayesian variable sampling, fatigue crack growth modeling, redundant systems with one standby unit, life testing when the hazard rate function is cup-shaped, point processes in software reliability, the aspects of Markov and Rasch models, internal analysis and validation of a quality of life instrument for French diabetics, deterministic modeling of HIV/AIDS, and models useful in sport sciences.

Reliability and survival analysis are important applications of stochastic mathematics (probability, statistics and stochastic processes) that are usually covered separately in spite of the similarity of the involved mathematical theory. This title aims to redress this situation: it includes 21 chapters divided into four parts: Survival analysis, Reliability, Quality of life, and Related topics. Many of these chapters were presented at the European Seminar on Mathematical Methods for Survival Analysis, Reliability and Quality of Life in 2006.
