Tanzania has both a high infant mortality rate (137/10000 live births) and child mortality rate (231/1000), with most deaths reflecting the sequelae of low birthweight. Although 80% of pregnant women attend a prenatal clinic at least once, 50% deliver at home. Similarly, most children are taken to child health clinics initially, but attendance falls to ...
As the two most popular models in survival analysis, the accelerated failure time (AFT) model can more easily fit survival data than the Cox proportional hazards model (PHM).
