Two Level Proportional Hazards

چکیده
We extend the proportional hazards model to a two level model with a random intercept term and random coeecients. 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 regression coeecient which are approximately unbiased and normally distributed. Two diierent methods, observed information and proole likelihood information, will be used to estimate the standard errors. This work is motivated by the goal of understanding the fertility patterns of Nepalese women in the Chitwan Valley Family Study (Axinn, Barber and Dirgha 1997). We utilize a two-level hazard model to examine how opportunities for health care and education covary with the timing of permanent contraceptive use.

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 کاملInference for the Proportional Hazards Family under Progressive Type-II Censoring
In this paper, the well-known proportional hazards model which includes several well-known lifetime distributions such as exponential,Pareto, Lomax, Burr type XII, and so on is considered. With both Bayesian and non-Bayesian approaches , we consider the estimation of parameters of interest based on progressively Type-II right censored samples. The Bayes estimates are obtained based on symmetric...
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...
متن کاملPrediction of Times to Failure of Censored Units in Progressive Hybrid Censored Samples for the Proportional Hazards Family
In this paper, the problem of predicting times to failure of units censored in multiple stages of progressively hybrid censoring for the proportional hazards family is considered. We discuss different classical predictors. The best unbiased predictor ($BUP$), the maximum likelihood predictor ($MLP$) and conditional median predictor ($CMP$) are all derived. As an example, the obtained results ar...
