The sup<InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$LM$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> test for structural change is embedded into a permutation test framework for a simple location model. The resulting conditional permutation distribution is compared to the usual (unconditional) asymptotic distribution, showing that the power of the test can be clearly improved in...</equationsource></inlineequation>

We aim at modeling the survival time of intensive care patients suffering from severe sepsis. The nature of the problem requires a flexible model that allows to extend the classical Cox-model via the inclusion of time-varying and nonparametric effects. These structured survival models are very...

This goal is, however, seldom achieved because most established regression models estimate only...</p>
