Comparison of different estimation procedures for proportional hazards model with random effects
Proportional hazards models with multivariate random effects (frailties) acting multiplicatively on the baseline hazard are a topic of intensive research. Several estimation procedures have been proposed to deal with this type of models. Four procedures used to fit these models are compared in two real-life datasets and in a simulation study. The performance of the four methods is investigated ...
متن کاملProportional Hazards Models with Continuous Marks.
For time-to-event data with finitely many competing risks, the proportional hazards model has been a popular tool for relating the cause-specific outcomes to covariates [Prentice et al. Biometrics34 (1978) 541-554]. This article studies an extension of this approach to allow a continuum of competing risks, in which the cause of failure is replaced by a continuous mark only observed at the failu...
متن کاملEstimation in the cox proportional hazards model with left-truncated and interval-censored data.
We show that the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimate (NPMLE) of the regression coefficient from the joint likelihood (of the regression coefficient and the baseline survival) works well for the Cox proportional hazards model with left-truncated and interval-censored data, but the NPMLE may underestimate the baseline survival. Two alternatives are also considered: first, the marginal likel...
متن کاملTwo-level proportional hazards models.
We extend the proportional hazards model to a two-level model with a random intercept term and random coefficients. The parameters in the multilevel model are estimated by a combination of EM and Newton-Raphson algorithms. Even for samples of 50 groups, this method produces estimators of the fixed effects coefficients that are approximately unbiased and normally distributed. Two different metho...
