abstract="We consider linear combinations of &quot;natural&quot; time scales and choose the &quot;best&quot; one which provides the minimum coefficient of variation of the lifetime. Our time scale is in fact a generalized Miner time scale because the latter is based on an appropriate weighting of the times spent on low and high level loadings. The suggested modus operandi for finding the &quot;best&quot; time scale has many features in common with the approach suggested by Farewell and Cox (1979) and Oakes (1995) which is devoted to multiple time scales in survival analysis.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
