A novel 14-gene signature for overall survival in lung adenocarcinoma based on the Bayesian hierarchical Cox proportional hazards model [PDF]
There have been few investigations of cancer prognosis models based on Bayesian hierarchical models. In this study, we used a novel Bayesian method to screen mRNAs and estimate the effects of mRNAs on the prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma ...

Does the Tax Cuts Policy Lower Firm Survival Risk? Evidence from China [PDF]
This paper examines the effect of tax cuts policy on firm survival risk. We analyze a panel data of China’s listed companies over the period 20082021 based on two different techniques: Kaplan-Meier survival estimator and the Cox proportional hazards ...

Using Wavelet Shrinkage in the Cox Proportional Hazards Regression model (simulation study) [PDF]
The proposed method in this paper dealt with the problem of data contamination in the Cox Proportional Hazards Regression model (CPHRM) by using Wavelet Shrinkage to de-noise data, calculating the discrete wavelet transformation coefficients for wavelets

Two-Level Proportional Hazards Models [PDF]
We extend the proportional hazards model to a two-level model with a random intercept term and random coefficients. The parameters in the multilevel model are estimated by a combination of EM and Newton-Raphson algorithms. Even for samples of 50 groups, this method produces estimators of the fixed effects coefficients that are approximately unbiased ...

Identification of a competing risks model with unknown transformations of latent failure times [PDF]
This paper is concerned with identification of a competing risks model with unknown transformations of latent failure times. The model in this paper includes, as special cases, competing risks versions of proportional hazards, mixed proportional ...

Generating Survival Times to Simulate Cox Proportional Hazards Models [PDF]
This paper discusses techniques to generate survival times for simulation studies regarding Cox proportional hazards models. In linear regression models, the response variable is directly connected with the considered covariates, the regression ...

Testing proportional hazards for specified covariates
Tests for proportional hazards assumption concerning specified covariates or groups of covariates are proposed. The class of alternatives is wide: log-hazard rates under different values of covariates may cross, approach, go away.
