Length-biased data are encountered frequently due to prevalent cohort sampling in follow-up studies. Quantile regression provides great flexibility for assessing covariate effects on survival time, and is a useful alternative to Cox’s proportional hazards model and the accelerated failure time...

Most statistical methods for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been extensively developed for normally distributed and completely observed phenotypes. A survival model such as Cox's proportional hazards model, or an accelerated failure time model, is the natural choice for regressing a...
