Evaluating the risk of stroke is important in reducing the incidence of this devastating disease. Here, we apply Bayesian model averaging to variable selection in Cox proportional hazard models in the context of the Cardiovascular Health Study, a comprehensive investigation into the risk factors for stroke. We introduce a technique based on the leaps and bounds algorithm which e ciently locates...

For random variables with Archimedean copula or survival copula, we develop the reversed hazard rate order and the hazard rate order on sample extremes in the context of proportional reversed hazard models and proportional hazard models, respectively. The likelihood ratio order on sample maximum is also investigated for the proportional reversed hazard model. Several numerical examples are pres...

in this paper, the cox proportional hazard model is used to answer several questions. in general, fourteen variables are applied in four groups: firm, industry, expenditure human resources specific characteristics as well. according to the previous literature in this field, the findings of this paper also show that the factors which affect life duration of firms are different between industries...

Choose the Cox proportional hazards regression model if the values in your dependent variable are duration observations. The advantage of the semi-parametric Cox proportional hazards model over fully parametric models such as the exponential or Weibull models is that it makes no assumptions about the shape of the baseline hazard. The model only requires the proportional hazards assumption that ...
