Update on Bayesian Survival Analysis

 As it happens, in the same week that I asked for recommendations, Prof. McElreath pointed out in a tweet that his Statistical Rethinking Winter 2019 series has a section on Survival Analysis on Lecture 13. I stopped watching the lectures as soon I as I got my hands on the 2ed of the book, when I had just finished... Lecture 12 :(

Link to the moment in the lecture where he covers the subject: Lecture 13 - Survival

I also got two related leads in the same tweet thread:

- Tobit models

- Censored Data on Stan User's Guide

I'll make sure to check it all when I finish the book!

File this under highly speculative. I’m sure there is better research on this topic than this writing This past week, for no obvious reason, I considered a few thoughts at the same time: Exercise is supposedly one of the best anti-aging “drugs”, and also highly effective (relatively speaking) against cognitive decline There’s this vague idea that after you become “professionally inactive”, you accelerate your cognitive decline To avoid cognitive decline, one must keep “exercising the brain”, so the incentive for seniors to have hobbies, do crosswords, sudoku, etc Now, from this point it seems that I’d go to a very commonplace conclusion about how exercising is probably better than sudoku or something, and to be frank that’s exactly where I’m going. But another two things crossed my mind at the same time: Recent advances in AI, and less recent advances in computing in general showed that a lot of the things we consider “cognitively hard” - from symbolic manipulation to arithmetic, “draw

Recommendations for Bayesian Survival Analysis?

I'm currently finishing the magnificent Statistical Rethinking, 2ed by Richard McElreath, and I really wish there was a bayesian survival analysis themed book with the same intuitionist and practical approach for beginners. I know there's a book called Bayesian Survival Analysis by Ibrahim, Chen and Sinha, but from a quick glance in Google books, it doesn't seem as approachable as I'd like
