Univariate Parametric Survival Analysis using GS-distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The GS-distribution is a family of distributions that provide an accurate representation of any unimodal univariate continuous distribution. In this contribution we explore the utility of this family as a general model in survival analysis. We show that the survival function based on the GS-distribution is able to provide a model for univariate survival data and that appropriate estimates can be obtained. We develop some hypotheses tests that can be used for checking the underlying survival model and for comparing the survival of different groups. MSC: 62N01, 62N02, 62N03, 62E17, 62P10

Background and purpose: One of the most common methods used to estimate the effects of explanatory variables on survival time, is Cox semi parametric model. However, under certain circumstances, accelerated failure time parametric models are superior to the Cox model. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficiency of parametric and semi-parametric models in survival analysis of patients...
متن کاملEstimation of Survival Distribution Using R Software
Survival analysis is widely applied in many fields such as biology, medicine, and public health. A typical analysis of survival data involves the modeling of time-to-event data, such as the time until death. To find Survival probabilities of the given observations censored or not, use Kaplan-Meier methods of estimation. But this method gives survival probabilities at any specific time. So this ...
