Survival Analysis and Hazard of Log Logistic Distribution on Type I Censored Data Parametrically

Abstract

Survival Analysis is a research method that examines the survival time of individuals or experimental units in relation to events such as death, disease, recovery, or other experiences. This study utilizes a parametric survival analysis model with a 2 parameter log logistic distribution and Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method to analyze the survival of students during their study period. The log logistic distribution is chosen due to its ability to capture early or late failure patterns. The objective of this research is to analyze type I censored survival data using the log logistic distribution applied to secondary data on student study duration. The dataset consists of 98 observations. The calculated values for the β and γ parameters of the 2 parameters log logistic distribution are 2.12831 and 0.0918891, respectively. The probability of students completing their studies by semester 8 (hazard function h(8)) is 0.370102, while the probability of students continuing their studies in semester 9 (survival function s(9)) is 0.320817.
