Parametric proportional hazards and accelerated failure time models
نویسنده
چکیده
A unified implementation of parametric proportional hazards (PH) and accelerated failure time (AFT) models for right-censored or intervalcensored and left-truncated data is described. The description here is válid for time-constant covariates, but the necessary modifications for handling time-varying covariates are implemented in eha. Note that only piecewise constant time variation is handled.

Survival analysis of thalassemia major patients using Cox, Gompertz proportional hazard and Weibull accelerated failure time models
Background: Thalassemia major (TM) is a severe disease and the most common anemia worldwide. The survival time of the disease and its risk factors are of importance for physicians. The present study was conducted to apply the semi-parametric Cox PH model and use parametric proportional hazards (PH) and accelerated failure time (AFT) models to identify the risk factors related to survival of TM ...
متن کاملResiduals and Functional Form in Accelerated Life Regression Models
We study residuals of parametric accelerated failure time (AFT) models for censored data, with the main aim of inferring the correct functional form of possibly misspecified covariates. We demonstrate the use of the methods by a simulated example and by applications to two reliability data sets. We also consider briefly a corresponding approach for parametric proportional hazards models.

In this paper we present the Stata package stgenreg for the parametric analysis of survival data. Any user-defined hazard function can be specified, with the model estimated using maximum likelihood utilising numerical quadrature. Models that can be fitted range from the Weibull proportional hazards model to the generalized gamma model, mixture models, cure rate models, accelerated failure time...

Introduction: The most important models used in analysis of survival data is proportional hazards models. Applying this model requires establishment of the relevance proportional hazards assumption, otherwise it world lead to incorrect inference. This study aims to evaluate Cox and Weibull models which are used in identification of effective factors on survival time in acute leukemia. Me...
متن کاملA Comparison between Accelerated Failure-time and Cox Proportional Hazard Models in Analyzing the Survival of Gastric Cancer Patients.
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is the one of the most prevalent reason of cancer-related death in the world. Survival of patients after surgery involves identifying risk factors. There are various models to detect the effect of risk factors on patients' survival. The present study aims at evaluating these models. METHODS Data from 330 gastric cancer patients diagnosed at the Iran cancer institute ...
