A proportional hazards cure model for the analysis of time to event with frequently unidentifiable causes.

چکیده
We propose a semiparametric method for the analysis of masked-cause failure data that are also subject to a cure. We present estimators for the failure time distribution, the cure rate, and the covariate effect on each of these, assuming a proportional hazards cure model for the time to event of interest and we use the expectation-maximization algorithm to conduct the likelihood maximization. The method is applied to data from a breast cancer clinical trial.

The evaluation of Cox and Weibull proportional hazards models and their applications to identify factors influencing survival time in acute leukem
Introduction: The most important models used in analysis of survival data is proportional hazards models. Applying this model requires establishment of the relevance proportional hazards assumption, otherwise it world lead to incorrect inference. This study aims to evaluate Cox and Weibull models which are used in identification of effective factors on survival time in acute leukemia. Me...
متن کاملA multi-stage stochastic programming for condition-based maintenance with proportional hazards model
Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) optimization using Proportional Hazards Model (PHM) is a kind of maintenance optimization problem in which inspections of a system relevant to its failure rate depending on the age and value of covariates are performed in time intervals. The general approach for constructing a CBM based on PHM for a system is to minimize a long run average cost per unit of time...

Background & Objectives: Cox regression model is one of the statistical methods in survival analysis. The use of smoothing techniques in Cox model makes the more accurate estimates for the parameters. Fractional polynomial is one of these techniques in Cox model. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of prognostic factors on survival of patients with gastric cancer using the fractiona...

متن کاملInterval mapping of quantitative trait loci for time-to-event data with the proportional hazards mixture cure model.
Interval mapping using normal mixture models has been an important tool for analyzing quantitative traits in experimental organisms. When the primary phenotype is time-to-event, it is natural to use survival models such as Cox's proportional hazards model instead of normal mixtures to model the phenotype distribution. An extra challenge for modeling time-to-event data is that the underlying pop...
