Singpurwalla, Nozer D. Rejoinder: Concert unlikely, “Jugalbandi” perhaps. (English) Zbl 1442.62222 Stat. Sci. 31, No. 4, 555-557 (2016). Summary: This rejoinder to the discussants of “Filtering and tracking survival propensity” [ibid. 31, No. 4, 521–540 (2016; Zbl 1442.62221)] begins with a brief history of the statistical aspects of reliability and its impact on survival analysis and responds to the several issues raised by the discussants [Zbl 1442.62221; Zbl 1442.62218; Zbl 1442.62217; Zbl 1442.62219; Zbl 1442.62220], some of which are conceptual and some pragmatic.
