Joint distribution approaches to simultaneously quantifying benefit and risk
BACKGROUND The benefit-risk ratio has been proposed to measure the tradeoff between benefits and risks of two therapies for a single binary measure of efficacy and a single adverse event. The ratio is calculated from the difference in risk and difference in benefit between therapies. Small sample sizes or expected differences in benefit or risk can lead to no solution or problematic solutions f...

Many insurance products provide benefits that are contingent on the combined survival status of two lives. To value such benefits accurately, we require a statistical model for the impact of the survivorship of one life on another. In this paper, we first set up two models, one Markov and one semi-Markov, to model the dependence between the lifetimes of a husband and wife. From the models we ca...
