Abstract: The intuitively attractive additive hazards
model is compared with the proportional hazards and accelerated
failure time models. The lack of identifiability limits the use of
the model and prevents the application of regression versions using
covariates. Fortunately, data analysis based on nonhomogeneous
Poisson processes or on proportional hazards is likely to yield most
of the information available in the data, even though they: (1) do
not necessarily represent the underlying process; and (2) even seem
unlikely in certain situations. In particular, proportional hazards
modeling appears very robust and requires few assumptions
