Mixed Effects Cox Models
نویسنده
چکیده
Like many other projects, this software library started with a data set and a problem. From this came statistical ideas for a solution, followed by some initial programming — which more than anything else helped to define the real computational and statistical issues — and then a more ambitious programming solution. The problem turned out to be harder than I thought; the first release-worthy code took over 3 years in gestation and resulted in the kinship library. This in turn led to application to a larger set of problems, and a complete re-design of the underlying code. It was then split into separate libraries: coxme contains the central code for mixed effects Cox and linear models, kinship2 contains code for the construction and manipulation of pedigree data, and bdsmatrix contains underlying routines for block-diagonal sparse matrices.

Cox and Frailty Models for Analysis of Esophageal Cancer Data
By existing censor and skewness in survival data, some models such as weibull are used to analyzing survival data. In addition, parametric and semiparametric models can be obtained from baseline hazard function of Cox model to fit to survival data. However these models are popular because of their simple usage but do not consider unknown risk factors, that's why cannot introduce the be...

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 کاملProperties of Spatial Cox Process Models
Probabilistic properties of Cox processes of relevance for statistical modeling and inference are studied. Particularly, we study the most important classes of Cox processes, including log Gaussian Cox processes, shot noise Cox processes, and permanent Cox processes. We consider moment properties and point process operations such as thinning, displacements, and superpositioning. We also discuss...
متن کاملParameter Estimation in Spatial Generalized Linear Mixed Models with Skew Gaussian Random Effects using Laplace Approximation
Spatial generalized linear mixed models are used commonly for modelling non-Gaussian discrete spatial responses. We present an algorithm for parameter estimation of the models using Laplace approximation of likelihood function. In these models, the spatial correlation structure of data is carried out by random effects or latent variables. In most spatial analysis, it is assumed that rando...
متن کاملModelling Survival Events with Longitudinal Data Measured with Error
In survival analysis, time-dependent covariates are usually available as longitudinal data collected periodically and with error. The longitudinal data can be assumed to follow a linear mixed effect model and Cox regression models are usually used for survival events. The hazard rate of survival times depends on the underlying time-dependent covariate which is described by random effects. Most ...
