Splitting It Up: The spduration Split-Population Duration Regression Package for Time-Varying Covariates
We present an implementation of split-population duration regression in the spduration (Beger et al., 2017) package for R that allows for time-varying covariates. The statistical model accounts for units that are immune to a certain outcome and are not part of the duration process the researcher is primarily interested in. We provide insights for when immune units exist, that can significantly ...
متن کاملIdentification Results for Duration Models with Multiple Spells or Time–varying Covariates
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the identifiability of duration models with multiple spells. We prove that the results of Elbers and Ridder (1982) and Heckman and Singer (1984) can be generalized to multi–spell models with lagged duration dependence. We also prove that without lagged duration dependence, the identification result does not depend on moment conditions or tail con...
متن کاملAn analysis for menstrual data with time-varying covariates.
This paper concerns the analysis of menstrual data; in particular, methodology to identify variables that contribute to the variability of menstrual cycles both within and between women. The basis for the proposed methodology is a parameterization of the mean length of a menstrual cycle conditional upon the past cycles and covariates. This approach accommodates the length-bias and censoring com...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Cox Regression Models with Time-Change Covariates
The Cox regression model is a cornerstone of modern survival analysis and is widely used in many other fields as well. But the Cox models with time-change covariates are not easy to understand or visualize. We therefore offer a simple and easy-to-understand interpretation of the (arbitrary) baseline hazard and time-change covariate. This interpretation also provides a way to simulate variables ...
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 ...
