《生命周期數據分析》是唯一一本專門研究生命周期數據的統計方法和應用的雜志。該雜志在處理生命數據的各個應用領域推進和促進統計科學，包括精算學、經濟學、工程學、環境科學、管理學、醫學、運籌學、公共衛生、社會和行為科學。反映該雜志廣泛興趣的部分主題列表包括加速故障時間模型、退化過程、元分析、多事件模型、生存函數的非參數估計、生活質量模型、比較壽命分布的秩檢驗和可靠性方法。

Lifetime Data Analysis is the only journal dedicated to statistical methods and applications for lifetime data. The journal advances and promotes statistical science in various applied fields that deal with lifetime data, including actuarial science, economics, engineering, environmental sciences, management, medicine, operations research, public health, and social and behavioral sciences.A partial list of topics reflecting the broad range of interests covered in the journal includes accelerated failure time models, degradation processes, meta-analysis, models for multiple events, nonparametric estimation of survival functions, quality-of-life models, rank tests for comparing lifetime distributions, and reliability methods.
