Generating Survival Times to Simulate Cox Proportional Hazards Models
Number of words: 2795 (excluding summary, references and tables) 2 SUMMARY This paper discusses techniques to generate survival times for simulation studies regarding Cox proportional hazards models. In linear regression models, the response variable is directly connected with the considered covariates, the regression coefficients and the simulated random errors. Thus, the response variable can...
متن کاملGenerating survival times to simulate Cox proportional hazards models with time-varying covariates
Simulation studies present an important statistical tool to investigate the performance, properties and adequacy of statistical models in pre-specified situations. One of the most important statistical models in medical research is the proportional hazards model of Cox. In this paper, techniques to generate survival times for simulation studies regarding Cox proportional hazards models are pres...
متن کاملTime-dependent covariates in the Cox proportional-hazards regression model.
The Cox proportional-hazards regression model has achieved widespread use in the analysis of time-to-event data with censoring and covariates. The covariates may change their values over time. This article discusses the use of such time-dependent covariates, which offer additional opportunities but must be used with caution. The interrelationships between the outcome and variable over time can ...
متن کاملA Bayesian Approach for the Cox Proportional Hazards Model with Covariates Subject to Detection Limit
The research on biomarkers has been limited in its effectiveness because biomarker levels can only be measured within the thresholds of assays and laboratory instruments, a challenge referred to as a detection limit (DL) problem. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian approach to the Cox proportional hazards model with explanatory variables subject to lower, upper, or interval DLs. We demonstrate...
متن کاملSample-size calculations for the Cox proportional hazards regression model with nonbinary covariates.
This paper derives a formula to calculate the number of deaths required for a proportional hazards regression model with a nonbinary covariate. The method does not require assumptions about the distributions of survival time and predictor variables other than proportional hazards. Simulations show that the censored observations do not contribute to the power of the test in the proportional haza...
