A Class Of Semiparametric Scale-Change Hazards Regression Models And Its Adequacy For Censored Survival Data, Ying Qing Chen Oct 2000

A Class Of Semiparametric Scale-Change Hazards Regression Models And Its Adequacy For Censored Survival Data, Ying Qing Chen

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

A class of semiparametric hazards regression models called the accelerated hazards models was introduced to identify the covariate effect characterized by the scale-change between hazard functions. In this article, we compare the accelerated hazards models with several other popular classes of regression models in statistical literature for censored survival data. We also propose and study some test statistics to assess the models' adequacy. Simulation studies are conducted to evaluate the performance of the test statistics. Actual clinical trials data are analyzed to demonstrate the proposed models and test statistics.


Regression Models For Bivariate Binary Responses, Juni Palmgren Nov 1989

Regression Models For Bivariate Binary Responses, Juni Palmgren

UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series

We discuss maximum likelihood inference for the bivariate logistic model, specified in terms of the marginal logits and the log odds ratio. Using the exponential family nonlinear model formulation the model fitting can be done in GLIM. The procedure is illustrated by modelling survival of unilateral and bilateral total hip arthroplasties as function of patient specific and hip specific covariates. We compare maximum likelihood inference with inference obtained from solving likelihood equations under the assumption of within block independence and using robust standard errors for the estimates. Simulations indicate that the latter procedure is effcient for block specific covariates but …
