Residuals and Functional Form in Accelerated Life Regression Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study residuals of parametric accelerated failure time (AFT) models for censored data, with the main aim of inferring the correct functional form of possibly misspecified covariates. We demonstrate the use of the methods by a simulated example and by applications to two reliability data sets. We also consider briefly a corresponding approach for parametric proportional hazards models.

TESTING FOR AUTOCORRELATION IN UNEQUALLY REPLICATED FUNCTIONAL MEASUREMENT ERROR MODELS
In the ordinary linear models, regressing the residuals against lagged values has been suggested as an approach to test the hypothesis of zero autocorrelation among residuals. In this paper we extend these results to the both equally and unequally replicated functionally measurement error models. We consider the equally and unequally replicated cases separately, because in the first case the re...
متن کاملOn Gamma Regression Residuals
In this paper, ‎we propose new residuals for gamma regression models, ‎assuming that both mean and shape parameters follow regression structures. The models are summarized and fitted by applying both classic and Bayesian methods as proposed by Cepeda-Cuervo (2001). The residuals are proposed from properties of the biparametric exponential family of distributions. ‎Simulated an...
متن کاملSUGI 28: Let the Data Speak: New Regression Diagnostics Based on Cumulative Residuals
Residuals have long been used as the basis for graphical and numerical examination of the adequacy of regression models. Conventional residual analysis based on plotting raw residuals or their smoothed versions is highly subjective, whereas most goodness-offit tests provide little information about the nature of model inadequacy. In this paper, new model-checking techniques of Lin et al. (1993,...
متن کاملFunctional form diagnostics for Cox's proportional hazards model.
We propose a new type of residual and an easily computed functional form test for the Cox proportional hazards model. The proposed test is a modification of the omnibus test for testing the overall fit of a parametric regression model, developed by Stute, González Manteiga, and Presedo Quindimil (1998, Journal of the American Statistical Association93, 141-149), and is based on what we call cen...
متن کاملModelling time to event with observations made at arbitrary times.
In many time-to-event studies, particularly in epidemiology, the time of the first observation or study entry is arbitrary in the sense that this is not a time of risk modification. We present a formal argument that, in these situations, it is not advisable to take the first observation as the time origin, either in accelerated failure time or proportional hazards models. Instead, we advocate u...
