Perhaps I should have added the original source for discriminating
among these models is Kalbfleisch and Prentice, The Statistical
Analysis of Failure time Data, Wiley Books, 1st edition (1978) or 2nd
edition (2002). K and P show that these models can be embedded in a
very general "log F" distribution
