Further Development of Flexible Parametric Models for Survival Analysis
Royston and Parmar (2002) developed a class of flexible parametric survival models that were programmed in Stata with the command stpm (Royston 2001). In this paper we introduce a new command, stpm2, that extends the methodology. New features of stpm2 include (i) improvement in the way timedependent covariates are modeled, with these effects far less likely to be over parameterized, (ii) the ab...
متن کاملPartitioning of excess mortality in population-based cancer patient survival studies using flexible parametric survival models
BACKGROUND Relative survival is commonly used for studying survival of cancer patients as it captures both the direct and indirect contribution of a cancer diagnosis on mortality by comparing the observed survival of the patients to the expected survival in a comparable cancer-free population. However, existing methods do not allow estimation of the impact of isolated conditions (e.g., excess c...
متن کاملSensitivity analysis for informative censoring in parametric survival models.
Most statistical methods for censored survival data assume there is no dependence between the lifetime and censoring mechanisms, an assumption which is often doubtful in practice. In this paper we study a parametric model which allows for dependence in terms of a parameter delta and a bias function B(t, theta). We propose a sensitivity analysis on the estimate of the parameter of interest for s...
متن کاملFlexible parametric measurement error models.
Inferences in measurement error models can be sensitive to modeling assumptions. Specifically, if the model is incorrect, the estimates can be inconsistent. To reduce sensitivity to modeling assumptions and yet still retain the efficiency of parametric inference, we propose using flexible parametric models that can accommodate departures from standard parametric models. We use mixtures of norma...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Finite Element Methodology for Flexible Track Models in Railway Dynamics Applications
The dynamic analysis of railway vehicles involves the construction of three independent models: the vehicle model; the track model; and the wheel-rail contact model. In this work, a multibody formulation with Cartesian coordinates is used to describe the kinematic structure of the rigid bodies and joints that constitute the vehicle model. A methodology is also proposed in order to create detail...
