Nonparametric Bayesian analysis of the accelerated failure time model

The baseline probability distribution for accelerated failure time is modeled with a Dirichlet process. A fully Bayesian analysis is developed for the estimation of regression coefficients as well as for the estimation of survival curves. The practical difficulties associated with this theoretically desirable analysis are emphasized.
