A Parametric Survival Model When a Covariate is Subject to Left-Censoring.
PROBLEM STATEMENT Modeling survival data with a set of covariates usually assumes that the values of the covariates are fully observed. However, in a variety of applications, some values of a covariate may be left-censored due to inadequate instrument sensitivity to quantify the biospecimen. When data are left-censored, the true values are missing but are known to be smaller than the detection ...
متن کاملSemi-parametric Bayesian analysis of binary responses with a continuous covariate subject to non-random missingness
Missingness in explanatory variables requires a model for the covariates even if the interest lies only in a conditional model for the outcomes given the covariates. An incorrect specification of the models for the covariates or for the missingness mechanism may lead to biased inferences for the parameters of interest. Previously published articles either use semi-/non-parametric flexible distr...
متن کاملParametric model to analyse the survival of gastric cancer in the presence of interval censoring.
AIMS AND BACKGROUND The objective of the study was to assess the impact of prognostic factors on survival of patients with gastric cancer in the presence of interval censoring using parametric models. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN In a retrospective cohort study, 178 patients with gastric cancer were studied from February 2003 to January 2008. Gender, age at diagnosis, distant metastasis, tumor si...
متن کاملEstimating a time-dependent concordance index for survival prediction models with covariate dependent censoring.
Given a predictive marker and a time-to-event response variable, the proportion of concordant pairs in a data set is called concordance index. A specifically useful marker is the risk predicted by a survival regression model. This article extends the existing methodology for applications where the length of the follow-up period depends on the predictor variables. A class of inverse probability ...
متن کاملA Parametric Cathment Erosion Model
The structural framework for a parametric catchment erosion model is proposed. A parameter optimization technique that provides a rational basis for the calibration of the model is developed. The adequacy of the model in representing a natural catchment is investigated.
