Residuals for linear mixed model in the presence of censure Elisângela da Silva Rodrigues 1 Dione Maria Valença 1 Julio da Motta Singer 2 We present residuals analysis to assess the fit of correlated survival data by Accelerated Failure Time Models with random effects. We propose an imputation procedure for censored observations and consider three types of residuals. We illustrate the proposal to a real data set involving times between failures of oil well. Keywords: Accelerated failure time Model, Correlated data, Imputation, Residuals analysis. 1 PPGMAE - UFRN. e-mail: [email protected] - UFRN. e-mail: [email protected] 2 IME - USP. e-mail: [email protected] 1 DE
