An approach to estimation in relative survival regression.
The goal of relative survival methodology is to compare the survival experience of a cohort with that of the background population. Most often an additive excess hazard model is employed, which assumes that each person's hazard is a sum of 2 components--the population hazard obtained from life tables and an excess hazard attributable to the specific condition. Usually covariate effects on the e...
متن کاملRegression models for relative survival.
Four approaches to estimating a regression model for relative survival using the method of maximum likelihood are described and compared. The underlying model is an additive hazards model where the total hazard is written as the sum of the known baseline hazard and the excess hazard associated with a diagnosis of cancer. The excess hazards are assumed to be constant within pre-specified bands o...
متن کاملA NEW APPROACH FOR PARAMETER ESTIMATION IN FUZZY LOGISTIC REGRESSION
Logistic regression analysis is used to model categorical dependent variable. It is usually used in social sciences and clinical research. Human thoughts and disease diagnosis in clinical research contain vagueness. This situation leads researchers to combine fuzzy set and statistical theories. Fuzzy logistic regression analysis is one of the outcomes of this combination and it is used in situa...
متن کاملA Prequential Approach to Regression Estimation 1
| Prequential model selection is a data-driven methodology for selecting between rival models on the basis of their predictive ability, where the predictive ability of a model is measured by its accumulated prediction error on a given set of observations. Given i.i.d. observations, we propose a regression estimator{based on neural networks{that selects the number of \hidden units" using prequen...
متن کاملNonparametric Regression Approach to Bayesian Estimation
Estimation of unknown parameters and functions involved in complex nonlinear econometric models is a very important issue. Existing estimation methods include generalised method of moments (GMM) by Hansen (1982) and others, efficient method of moments (EMM) by Gallant and Tauchen (1997), Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method by Chernozhukov and Hong (2003), and nonparametric simulated maximum ...
