Abstract
In grouped survival data, the study of the variation in the relative r isk as a function of covariates depends on the chosen classes for the covariates. We present a method which allows us to take into account k nowledge of the individual values of the covariates, for failed indivi duals only. The method is applied to the study of the relationship bet ween the relative risk for breast cancer and the dose of ionizing radi ation received at Nagasaki.
