significant when the values of τ vary. For example, “Size” in both scenarios.

Furthermore, parameter estimates vary when the correlation between the depen-
dent censoring and events changes. In some cases, the estimates vary slightly. For
example, “Age” from the second scenario. The estimates may vary quite a bit. For
instance, “Profit” in the first scenario. Detailed results are shown below.

• Tests 3, 4, 5 and 6

Tables 4.3 - 4.12 present parameter estimates and related standard errors and 95
percent confidence intervals for both bankruptcy and acquisition scenarios. Figures
4.1 - 4.10 illustrate such data graphically. In those figures, “Beta” represents the first
scenario and “Betac” represents the second. Р-values are calculated based on the fact
that the following statistic (-g∙‰)² follows the χ² distribution.

Figure 4.11 shows the cumulative hazard curve of bankruptcy obtained using the
proposed method and its 95 percent confidence interval. It will be further discussed
in Chapter 5.
