Modelling accelerated failure time with a Dirichlet process

The relationship between survival times and covariates is modelled via the accelerated failure time model with a Dirichlet process prior assumed for the underlying baseline survival fucntion. Emphasis is placed on estimating the survival distribution for future individuals with given covariates. A method of estimating regression coefficients which uses the marginal distribution for observed censored data is given
