Extensions of Cox model for non-proportional hazards purpose [PDF]
Cox proportional hazard model is one of the most common methods used in analysis of time to event data. The idea of the model is to define hazard level as a dependent variable which is being explained by the time-related component (so called baseline hazard) and covariates-related component.

Robust frailty modelling using non-proportional hazards models [PDF]
Correlated survival times can be modelled by introducing a random effect, or frailty component, into the hazard function. For multivariate survival data, we extend a non-proportional hazards (PH) model, the generalized time-dependent logistic survival model, to include random effects.

Bayesian correction for covariate measurement error: a frequentist evaluation and comparison with regression calibration [PDF]
Bayesian approaches for handling covariate measurement error are well established, and yet arguably are still relatively little used by researchers. For some this is likely due to unfamiliarity or disagreement with the Bayesian inferential paradigm.

Dynamic Random Effects Models for Times between Repeated Events [PDF]
We consider recurrent event data when the duration or gap times between successive event occurrences are of intrinsic interest. Subject heterogeneity not attributed to observed covariates is usually handled by random effects which result in an ...

Modelling non-proportional hazard for survival data with different systematic components
We propose a new extended regression model based on the logarithm of the generalized odd log-logistic Weibull distribution with four systematic components for the analysis of survival data. This regression model can be very useful and could give more realistic fits than other special regression models.

Restricted mean survival time: an alternative to the hazard ratio for the design and analysis of randomized trials with a time-to-event outcome [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Designs and analyses of clinical trials with a time-to-event outcome almost invariably rely on the hazard ratio to estimate the treatment effect and implicitly, therefore, on the proportional hazards assumption.

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

occumb: An R package for site occupancy modeling of eDNA metabarcoding data
This study introduces a new R package, occumb, for the convenient application of site occupancy modeling using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding data. We outline a data analysis workflow, including data setup, model fitting, model assessment, and comparison of potential study settings based on model predictions, all of which can be performed using
