A Bayesian Semiparametric Transformation Model Incorporating Frailties
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a Bayesian semiparametric (failure time) transformation model for which an unknown monotone transformation of failure times is assumed linearly dependent on observed covariates with an unspecified error distribution. The two unknowns: the monotone transformation and error distribution are assigned prior distributions with large supports. Our class of regression model includes the proportional hazards, accelerated failure time, and frailty models. Numerical examples are presented.

Bayesian semiparametric frailty selection in multivariate event time data.
Biomedical studies often collect multivariate event time data from multiple clusters (either subjects or groups) within each of which event times for individuals are correlated and the correlation may vary in different classes. In such survival analyses, heterogeneity among clusters for shared and specific classes can be accommodated by incorporating parametric frailty terms into the model. In ...
متن کاملBayesian semiparametric dynamic frailty models for multiple event time data.
Many biomedical studies collect data on times of occurrence for a health event that can occur repeatedly, such as infection, hospitalization, recurrence of disease, or tumor onset. To analyze such data, it is necessary to account for within-subject dependency in the multiple event times. Motivated by data from studies of palpable tumors, this article proposes a dynamic frailty model and Bayesia...
متن کاملModeling Variability Order: A Semiparametric Bayesian Approach
In comparing two populations, sometimes a model incorporating a certain probability order is desired. In this setting, Bayesian modeling is attractive since a probability order restriction imposed a priori on the population distributions is retained a posteriori. Extending the work in Gelfand and Kottas (2000) for stochastic order specifications, we formulate modeling for distributions ordered ...
متن کاملPrior Information Based Bayesian Infinite Mixture Model
Unsupervised learning methods have been tremendously successful in extracting knowledge from genomics data generated by high throughput experimental assays. However, analysis of each dataset in isolation without incorporating potentially informative prior knowledge is limiting the utility of such procedures. Here we present a novel probabilistic model and computational algorithm for semi-superv...
متن کاملWavelet Threshold Estimator of Semiparametric Regression Function with Correlated Errors
Wavelet analysis is one of the useful techniques in mathematics which is used much in statistics science recently. In this paper, in addition to introduce the wavelet transformation, the wavelet threshold estimation of semiparametric regression model with correlated errors with having Gaussian distribution is determined and the convergence ratio of estimator computed. To evaluate the wavelet th...
