CauchyCP: a powerful test under non-proportional hazards using Cauchy combination of change-point Cox regressions [PDF]
Non-proportional hazards data are routinely encountered in randomized clinical trials. In such cases, classic Cox proportional hazards model can suffer from severe power loss, with difficulty in interpretation of the estimated hazard ratio since the treatment effect varies over time.
