Baseline Survival Function Estimators under Proportional Hazards Assumption
Cox (1972) proposed the partial likelihood technique to estimate the risk coefficients of proportional hazards regression model without specify the baseline hazards function. Once the risk coefficients β are estimated, we may interest in estimating the corresponding baseline survival function. Therefore, Breslow (1972) and Kalbfleisch & Prentice (1973) provided two different procedures as the b...
متن کاملCarbon sequestration in the soils of aquaculture ponds, crop land, and forest land in southern Ohio, USA.
Soil samples were collected from four aquaculture ponds (yellow perch culture), a control pond (without aquaculture activities, fallow pond), crop land (under corn), and forest land to estimate the carbon (C) sequestration potential in the Piketon county, Ohio, USA. The averaged total of C was 6.5 ± 2, 8.8 ± 2, 8.53 ± 0.2 and 10.49 ± 1.1 Mg/ha (Mg=10(6)g) in < 0.25 mm fraction; 15.2 ± 2, 16.0 ±...
متن کاملVALUING EXPRESSWAYS UNDER TIME PRESSURES by
Based on the stated-preference (SP) survey data collected from a sample of Osaka metropolitan area commuters, we examine the nature of willingness-to-pay (WTP) values respondents indicate for traveling on a tolled expressway under different levels of time pressure. The study shows that WTP varies with time pressure, and that there is systematic downward biases in reporting WTP. The framework of...
متن کاملValuing Life under the Shadow of Death
This paper proposes an axiomatic formulation of preferences that rank lotteries involving lives of different lengths. Our axioms formalize two fundamental assumptions: preferences fulfill standard axioms of expected utility theory and are stationary. They lead to a class of utility functions that is much larger than the set of additive utility functions. We discuss the theoretical properties of...
متن کاملFrom forest to field: perennial fruit crop domestication.
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Archaeological and genetic analyses of seed-propagated annual crops have greatly advanced our understanding of plant domestication and evolution. Comparatively little is known about perennial plant domestication, a relevant topic for understanding how genes and genomes evolve in long-lived species, and how perennials respond to selection pressures operating on a relatively ...
