The objective of Lifetime Data Analysis is to advance and promote statistical science in the various applied fields that deal with lifetime data, including: Actuarial Science - Economics - Engineering Sciences - Environmental Sciences - Management Science - Medicine - Operations Research - Public Health - Social and Behavioral Sciences.
The following listing of some current topics of interest to the journal is not intended to be exclusive but to indicate the editorial policy of attracting papers generated by a broad range of interests:
accelerated failure time models - Bayesian lifetime models - censoring and truncation - classes of lifetime distributions - competing risk models - counting processes for lifetime data - degradation processes - goodness-of-fit - maintenance policies and replacement models - measurement errors - meta-analysis of lifetime data - models for multiple events - models for noncompliance - multivariate failure models - multi-state models - nonparametric estimation of survival functions - parametric estimation and predictive inference - parametric regression models - proportional hazard models and extensions - quality-of-life models - rank tests for comparing lifetime distributions - reliability methods - residual analysis and model diagnostics - surrogate marker processes and joint modeling of these processes with lifetime data. |
Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Submission
- Authors should submit five hard copies of their final manuscript to:
LIDA Editorial Office

For prompt attention all correspondence can be directed to this address.
- Enclose with each manuscript, on a separate page, from three to five key words.
- Enclose originals for the illustrations in the style described below for one copy of the manuscript. Photocopies of the figures may accompany the remaining copies of the manuscript. Alternatively, you may send good quality copies with the manuscript, and send the originals immediately upon acceptance of the paper.
- Enclose a separate page giving the preferred address of the contact author for correspondence and return of proofs. Please include a telephone number, fax number and e-mail address, if available.

MANUSCRIPT STYLE
- Typeset, double or 1 1/2 space; use one side of sheet only (laser printed, typewritten and good quality duplication acceptable).
- Use an informative title for the paper and include an abstract of 100 to 250 words at the head of the manuscript. The abstract should be a carefully worded description of the problem addressed, the key ideas introduced, and the results. Abstracts will be printed with the article.
- Provide a separate double-spaced sheet listing all footnotes, beginning with "affiliation of author" and continuing with numbered footnotes.
- Acknowledgment of financial support may be given if appropriate.
- References should follow the author-date format (Brown, 1994). The reference listing should appear separately in alphabetical order at the end of the paper. References should be complete, in the following style:
- Style for papers: Author(s) initials followed by last name for each author, paper title, publication name, volume, inclusive page numbers, month and year.
- Style for books: Author(s), title, publisher, location, year, chapter or page numbers (if desired).

Type mathematical expressions exactly as they should appear in print. Use appropriate typeface. Journal style for letter symbols is as follows: variables, italic type; constants, roman text type; matrices and vectors, boldface type. Use appropriate typeface. It will be assumed that letters in displayed equations are to be set in italic type unless noted otherwise. All letter symbols in text discussion should be italic or boldface. Indicate best breaks for equations in case they will not fit on one line. Numbers for displayed equations should appear in parentheses flush with the right margin.
