Semiparametric Bayesian approaches to joinpoint regression for population-based cancer survival data
According to the American Cancer Society report (1999), cancer surpasses heart disease as the leading cause of death in the United States of America (USA) for people of age less than 85. Thus, medical research in cancer is an important public health interest. Understanding how medical improvements are affecting cancer incidence, mortality and survival is critical for effective cancer control. I...
متن کاملApproaches for Semiparametric Bayesian Regression
Developing regression relationships is a primary inferential activity. We consider such relationships in the context of hierarchical models incorporating linear structure at each stage. Modern statistical work encourages less presump-tive, i.e., nonparametric speciications for at least a portion of the modeling. That is, we seek to enrich the class of standard parametric hierarchical models by ...
متن کاملBayesian Joinpoint Regression Model for Childhood Brain Cancer Mortality
Erratum In the original running head of this article, we incorrectly spelled author Netra Khanal's surname. We regret this error, and have corrected the article. The Bayesian approach of joinpoint regression is widely used to analyze trends in cancer mortality, incidence and survival data. The Bayesian joinpoint regression model was used to study the childhood brain cancer mortality rate and it...
متن کاملSemiparametric Bayesian Analysis of Survival Data
This review paper investigates the potential of the semiparametric Bayes methods for the analysis of survival data. The nonparametric part of every semiparametric model is assumed to be a realization of a stochastic process. The parametric part, which may include a regression parameter or a parameter quantifying the heterogeneity of a population, is assumed to have a prior distribution with pos...
متن کاملBayesian Semiparametric Methods for Longitudinal, Multivariate, and Survival Data
MICHAEL LINDSEY PENNELL: BAYESIAN SEMIPARAMETRIC METHODS FOR LONGITUDINAL, MULTIVARIATE, AND SURVIVAL DATA. (Under the direction of Dr. David Dunson.) In many biomedical studies, the observed data may violate the assumptions of standard parametric methods. In these situations, Bayesian methods are appealing since nonparametric priors, such as the Dirichlet process (DP), can incorporate a priori...
