Analysis of Multivariate Failure Time Data Using Marginal Proportional Hazards Model.

چکیده
The marginal proportional hazards model is an important tool in the analysis of multivariate failure time data in the presence of censoring. We propose a method of estimation via the linear combinations of martingale residuals. The estimation and inference procedures are easy to implement numerically. The estimation is generally more accurate than the existing pseudo-likelihood approach: the size of efficiency gain can be considerable in some cases, and the maximum relative efficiency in theory is infinite. Consistency and asymptotic normality are established. Empirical evidence in support of the theoretical claims is shown in simulation studies.

Using frailties in the accelerated failure time model.
The accelerated failure time (AFT) model is an important alternative to the Cox proportional hazards model (PHM) in survival analysis. For multivariate failure time data we propose to use frailties to explicitly account for possible correlations (and heterogeneity) among failure times. An EM-like algorithm analogous to that in the frailty model for the Cox model is adapted. Through simulation i...
متن کاملVariable Selection for Multivariate Survival data
It is assumed for the Cox’s proportional hazards model that the survival times of subjects are independent. This assumption might be violated in some situations, in which the collected data are correlated. The well-known Cox model is not valid in this situation because independence assumption among individuals is violated. For this purpose Cox’s proportional hazard model is extent to the analys...
متن کاملChecking for the Gamma Frailty Distribution under the Marginal Proportional Hazards Frailty Model
The marginal proportional hazards frailty model for multivariate failure time data characterizes the intracluster dependency with the frailty model while formulating the marginal distributions with the proportional hazards model. The gamma frailty distribution has been widely used to model intracluster dependency because of its simple interpretation and mathematical tractability. Glidden (2000)...
متن کاملMisspecification of Marginal Hazards Models in Multivariate Failure Time Data
Multivariate failure time data, also referred to as correlated or clustered failure time data, arise when more than one failure outcome is observed for an individual, or when group randomization or cluster sampling is used, or both. For example, in the well known Framingham Heart Study (Dawber (1980)), times to myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, cancer, and so on, were observed fo...
متن کاملMarginal Models for Multivariate Failure Time Data with Generalized Dependence Structure
In epidemiologic studies, there is often more than one outcome measured on the same subject. Multiple failures from the same individual induce multivariate failure time data involving within-subject dependence. Furthermore, participants may not be independent within a cluster (e.g., as with members of the same family). Responses from subjects in the same cluster generate multivariate failure ti...
