Gamma frailty transformation models for multivariate survival times.
We propose a class of transformation models for multivariate failure times. The class of transformation models generalize the usual gamma frailty model and yields a marginally linear transformation model for each failure time. Nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation is used for inference. The maximum likelihood estimators for the regression coefficients are shown to be consistent and asympt...
متن کاملMultivariate Frailty Models for Exchangeable Survival Data with Covariates
We consider a multivariate lognormal frailty model for correlated exchangeable failure time data, where the marginal lifetimes have conditional Weibull distributions. We discuss Bayesian statistical methods to fit this model to experimental data with varying cluster sizes. The Bayesian inferential approach arises naturally from the hierarchical structure of the frailty model. In contrast, imple...
متن کاملA comparison of frailty models for multivariate survival data.
This paper reviews some of the main approaches to the analysis of multivariate censored survival data. Such data typically have correlated failure times. The correlation can be a consequence of the observational design, for example with clustered sampling and matching, or it can be a focus of interest as in genetic studies, longitudinal studies of recurrent events and other studies involving mu...
متن کاملCorrelated gamma frailty models for bivariate survival data
Frailty models are used in the survival analysis to account for the unobserved heterogeneity in individual risks to disease and death. To analyze the bivariate data on related survival times (e.g. matched pairs experiments, twin or family data), the shared frailty models were suggested. Shared frailty models are used despite their limitations. To overcome their disadvantages correlated frailty ...
متن کاملA class of Bayesian shared gamma frailty models with multivariate failure time data.
For multivariate failure time data, we propose a new class of shared gamma frailty models by imposing the Box-Cox transformation on the hazard function, and the product of the baseline hazard and the frailty. This novel class of models allows for a very broad range of shapes and relationships between the hazard and baseline hazard functions. It includes the well-known Cox gamma frailty model an...
