Smoothing spline-based score tests for proportional hazards models.
We propose "score-type" tests for the proportional hazards assumption and for covariate effects in the Cox model using the natural smoothing spline representation of the corresponding nonparametric functions of time or covariate. The tests are based on the penalized partial likelihood and are derived by viewing the inverse of the smoothing parameter as a variance component and testing an equiva...
متن کاملBayesian variable selection for proportional hazards models
The authors consider the problem of Bayesian variable selection for proportional hazards regression models with right censored data. They propose a semi-parametric approach in which a nonparametric prior is specified for the baseline hazard rate and a fully parametric prior is specified for the regression coefficients. For the baseline hazard, they use a discrete gamma process prior, and for th...
متن کاملBayesian Bootstrap for Proportional Hazards Models
Bayesian bootstrap was proposed by Rubin (1981) and its theoretical properties and application to survival models without covariates was studies by Lo (1993) and others. Bayesian bootstrap, empirical likelihood and bootstrap are diierent approaches based on the same idea, approximating the nonparametric model with the family of distributions whose supports are the set of observations. Based on ...
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...
متن کاملModel diagnostics for smoothing spline ANOVA models
The author proposes some simple diagnostics for the assessment of the necessity of selected model terms in smoothing spline ANOVA models; the elimination of practically insignificant terms generally enhances the interpretability of the estimates, and sometimes may also have inferential implications. The diagnostics are derived from Kullback-Leibler geometry, and are illustrated in the settings ...
