Discrete and continuoustime estimation survival analysis estimates a hazard function, also called a conditional risk, such that a target event will occur given that the target event has not occurred yet. The pwe survival model described earlier divided the time scale into a sequence of intervals, under the assumption that the hazard function was constant within each of these. For example, a in a clinical trial, time from start of treatment to a failure event b time from birth to death age at death. The hazard function represents the conditional probability of an event at time t or, in other words, the probability of experiencing the event at time t given survival up to that time point.
