Modelling time to event with observations made at arbitrary times.
In many time-to-event studies, particularly in epidemiology, the time of the first observation or study entry is arbitrary in the sense that this is not a time of risk modification. We present a formal argument that, in these situations, it is not advisable to take the first observation as the time origin, either in accelerated failure time or proportional hazards models. Instead, we advocate u...
متن کاملModelling and Reasoning with Uncertain Event-observations for Event Inference
This paper presents an event modelling and reasoning framework where event-observations obtained from heterogeneous sources may be uncertain or incomplete, while sensors may be unreliable or in conflict. To address these issues we apply Dempster-Shafer (DS) theory to correctly model the event-observations so that they can be combined in a consistent way. Unfortunately, existing frameworks do no...
متن کاملLatent Waiting Time Models For Bivariate Event Times With Censoring
Multivariate event time data arises frequently in both medical and industrial settings. In such data sets: event times may be associated with quite diierent occurrences, event times can not be considered as independent-the distribution of time to occurrence of one event may change after the occurrence of another, events can occur simultaneously, available covariate information may provide usefu...
متن کاملJoint Modelling of Event Counts and Survival Times
We consider the analysis of data from the MRC Multicentre Trial for Early Epilepsy and Single Seizures (MESS), which was undertaken to assess the differences between two policies: immediate, or deferred treatment in patients with single seizures or early epilepsy. In studies of recurrent events, like epileptic seizures, there is typically lots of information about individuals’ seizure patterns ...
متن کاملSearch times with arbitrary detection constraints.
Random encounters in space are central to describing diffusion-limited reactions, animal foraging, search processes, and many other situations in nature. These encounters, however, are often constrained by the capacity of the searcher to detect and/or recognize its target. This can be due to limited binding and perception abilities of the searcher or hiding and avoiding mechanisms used by the t...
