Spatial Varying Coefficient Regression Model For Relative Risk Factors of Esophageal Cancer Patients
In conventional methods for spatial survival data modeling, it is often assumed that the coefficients of explanatory variables in different regions have a constant effect on survival time. Usually, the spatial correlation of data through a random effect is also included in the model. But in many practical issues, the factors affecting survival time do not have the same effects in different regi...
متن کاملEstimating the Net Survival of Patients with Gastric Cancer in Iran in a Relative Survival Framework
Background: Iran is an Eastern Mediterranean region country with the highest rate of gastric cancer. The present study aimed to evaluate the 5-year net survival of patients with gastric cancer in Iran using a relative survival framework.Methods: In a cross-sectional study, using life-table estimation of relative survival, we reported 1- to 5-year relative survival regarding age, sex, disease st...
متن کاملThe Design of Inverse Network DEA Model for Measuring the Bullwhip Effect in Supply Chains with Uncertain Demands
Two different bullwhip effects with equal scores may have different sensitivities and production patterns. As a result, the difference between these two seemingly equal scores has been ignored in previous methods (such as frequency response and moving average). So, the present study constructs a model of Inverse Network Data Envelopment Analysis, to introduce the relative and interval scores of...
متن کاملMeasuring Hospital Performance: Modelling and Visualising Bivariate Outcomes
Quantitative indicators are used to objectively asses the performance of large institutions such as hospitals. However, different methods for accounting for structural and random variation can lead to different conclusions on relative performance. Using data from 92 hospitals and 24,000 colo-rectal cancer patients we show how ranking methods can give substantially different results depending on...
متن کاملConditional Melanoma Cancer Survival in the United States
Beyond relative survival, which indicates the likelihood that patients will not die from causes associated with their cancer, conditional relative survival probabilities provide further useful prognostic information to cancer patients, tailored to the time already survived from diagnosis. This study presents conditional relative survival for melanoma patients in the United States, diagnosed dur...
