Aalen's Additive Model

Aalen's Additive Model is a statistical method used primarily in survival analysis, which helps researchers understand how different factors influence the time until an event occurs, such as death or failure of a machine. Unlike traditional models that focus on overall survival time, this approach allows for the exploration of how variables contribute to the risk of an event over time. It treats these effects as additive, meaning each factor adds to the overall risk in a straightforward way, making it easier to interpret how changes in conditions impact the likelihood of experiencing the event at different times.
