Age- and Time-varying Proportional Hazards Models for Employment Discrimination
We use a discrete-time proportional hazards model of time to involuntary employment termination. This model enables us to examine both the continuous effect of the age of an employee and whether that effect has varied over time, generalizing earlier work [Kadane and Woodworth J. Bus. Econom. Statist. 22 (2004) 182–193]. We model the log hazard surface (over age and time) as a thin-plate spline,...
متن کاملGenerating survival times to simulate Cox proportional hazards models with time-varying covariates
Simulation studies present an important statistical tool to investigate the performance, properties and adequacy of statistical models in pre-specified situations. One of the most important statistical models in medical research is the proportional hazards model of Cox. In this paper, techniques to generate survival times for simulation studies regarding Cox proportional hazards models are pres...
متن کاملComparison of Proportional Hazards and Accelerated Failure Time Models
The eld of survival analysis has experienced tremendous growth during the latter half of the 20th century. The methodological developments of survival analysis that have had the most profound impact are the Kaplan-Meier method for estimating the survival function, the log-rank test for comparing the equality of two or more survival distributions, and the Cox proportional hazards (PH) model for...
متن کاملParametric proportional hazards and accelerated failure time models
A unified implementation of parametric proportional hazards (PH) and accelerated failure time (AFT) models for right-censored or intervalcensored and left-truncated data is described. The description here is válid for time-constant covariates, but the necessary modifications for handling time-varying covariates are implemented in eha. Note that only piecewise constant time variation is handled.
متن کاملUsing Aalen’s linear hazards model to investigate time-varying effects in the proportional hazards regression model
In this paper, we describe a new Stata command, stlh, which estimates and tests for the significance of the time-varying regression coefficients in Aalen’s linear hazards model; see Aalen (1989). We see two potential uses for this command. One may use it as an alternative to a proportional hazards or other nonlinear hazards regression model analysis to describe the effects of covariates on surv...
