Survival analysis of irish amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients diagnosed from 1995-2010. [PDF]
IntroductionThe Irish ALS register is a valuable resource for examining survival factors in Irish ALS patients. Cox regression has become the default tool for survival analysis, but recently new classes of flexible parametric survival analysis tools ...

The Cox model, which remains as the first choice in analyzing time-to-event data even for large datasets, relies on the proportional hazards assumption. When the data size exceeds the computer memory, the standard statistics for testing the proportional ...

On the use of Fractional Polynomials in Dynamic Cox Models [PDF]
Despite a sophisticated research on modelling of survival data in the last years, the most popular model used in practice is still the proportional hazards regression model proposed by Cox (1972).

Multiple imputation in Cox regression when there are time-varying effects of covariates. [PDF]
In Cox regression, it is important to test the proportional hazards assumption and sometimes of interest in itself to study time-varying effects (TVEs) of covariates. TVEs can be investigated with log hazard ratios modelled as a function of time. Missing

Estimation in Cox proportional hazards model with heteroscedastic errors in covariates
Consistent estimators of the baseline hazard rate and the regression parameter are constructed in the Cox proportional hazards model with heteroscedastic measurement errors, assuming that the baseline hazard function belongs to a certain class of ...

joineR: Joint modelling of repeated measurements and time-to-event data [PDF]
The joineR package implements methods for analysing data from longitudinal studies in which the response from each subject consists of a time-sequence of repeated measurements and a possibly censored time-toevent outcome.

Estimation of treatment effects in weighted log-rank tests
Non-proportional hazards have been observed in clinical trials. The log-rank test loses power and the standard Cox model generally produces biased estimates under such conditions.

Augmenting the logrank test in the design of clinical trials in which non-proportional hazards of the treatment effect may be anticipated [PDF]
© 2016 Royston and Parmar. Background: Most randomized controlled trials with a time-to-event outcome are designed assuming proportional hazards (PH) of the treatment effect. The sample size calculation is based on a logrank test.

BackgroundPrognostic models can help to identify patients at risk for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) at an earlier stage to provide preventive medical interventions. Previous studies mostly applied the Cox proportional hazards model.

Determining the Factors Affecting the Survival of HIV Patients: Comparison of Cox Model and the Random Survival Forest Method [PDF]
Background: In recent years, sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS have become an epidemic and are growing rapidly. Given the importance of controlling the disease in recent years, the awareness of the most important risk factors associated with ...
