Cox and Frailty Models for Analysis of Esophageal Cancer Data
Authors
Abstract:
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 best fit to the data necessarily. In this paper by considering multiple random effects in Cox model, frailty models are introduced. Then using presented models, esophageal cancer data in Golestan were modeled and fitted models were evaluated and compared based on generalized coefficient of determination criterion.

survival analysis of breast cancer patients using cox and frailty models
background: cox proportional hazard (cph) model is the most widely used model for survival analysis. when there are unobserved/unmeasured individuals factor, then the results of the cox proportional hazard model may not be reliable. the purpose of this study was to compare the results of cph and frailty models in breast cancer (bc) patients. methods: a historical cohort study was carried out us...
full textDynamic Frailty and Change Point Models for Recurrent Events Data
Abstract. We present a Bayesian analysis for recurrent events data using a nonhomogeneous mixed Poisson point process with a dynamic subject-specific frailty function and a dynamic baseline intensity func- tion. The dynamic subject-specific frailty employs a dynamic piecewise constant function with a known pre-specified grid and the baseline in- tensity uses an unknown grid for the piecewise ...

A very general mechanism for penalized regression has been added to the coxph function in S Plus A user written S Plus function can be supplied that gives addi tional term s to the partial likelihood along with the rst and second derivatives of those terms The variance and degrees of freedom for the extended model are then computed as outlined in Gray Several other arguments control optional as...
full textRegularization in Cox Frailty Models
In all sorts of regression problems it has become more and more important to deal with high dimensional data with lots of potentially influential covariates. A possible solution is to apply estimation methods that aim at the detection of the relevant effect structure by using penalization methods. In this work, the effect structure in the Cox frailty model, which is the most widely used model t...
full textAnalysis of Birth Spacing Using Frailty Models
Background and objectives: Birth spacing is an important variable for identification of fertility acceleration, total fertility rate, and maternal and fetal health. Therefore, special attention has been paid to this issue by researchers in the fields of medical sciences, health, and population. In addition, proper analysis of this concept is of foremost importance. Application of classical anal...
