Informative censoring in relative survival.
With changing the age distribution at the time of cancer diagnosis, the administrative censoring due to study end may be informative. This problem has been mentioned frequently in the relative survival field, and an estimator aiming to correct this problem has been developed. In this paper, we review the existing methods for estimation in relative survival, demonstrate their deficiencies, and p...
متن کاملSensitivity analysis for informative censoring in parametric survival models.
Most statistical methods for censored survival data assume there is no dependence between the lifetime and censoring mechanisms, an assumption which is often doubtful in practice. In this paper we study a parametric model which allows for dependence in terms of a parameter delta and a bias function B(t, theta). We propose a sensitivity analysis on the estimate of the parameter of interest for s...
متن کاملMultivariate Survival Data With Censoring
We define a new class of models for multivariate survival data, in continuous time, based on a number of cumulative hazard functions, along the lines of our family of models for correlated survival data in discrete time (Gross and Huber, 2000, 2002). This family is an alternative to frailty and copula models. We establish some properties of our family and compare it to Clayton’s and Marshall-Ol...
متن کاملInformative Censoring in Piecewise Exponential Survival Models
There are often reasons to suppose that there is dependence between the time to event and time to censoring, or informative censoring, for survival data, particularly when considering medical data. This is because the decision to treat or not is often made according to prognosis, usually with the most ill patients being prioritised. Due to identifiability issues, sensitivity analyses are often ...
متن کاملRegression survival analysis with an assumed copula for dependent censoring: a sensitivity analysis approach.
SUMMARY In clinical studies, when censoring is caused by competing risks or patient withdrawal, there is always a concern about the validity of treatment effect estimates that are obtained under the assumption of independent censoring. Because dependent censoring is nonidentifiable without additional information, the best we can do is a sensitivity analysis to assess the changes of parameter es...
