Example of how a subject’s observed data might look like. Here, there are 5 discrete time points where a subject may fail. Subject 1 was at risk in for the first three time points and failed at time t3. Subject 2 was censored and did not fail in these time points. In addition to these response data, each subject may have covariate data
