COBRA Preprint Series
The CLINT project is an European Union funded project, run as a specific support action, under the sixth framework programme. It is a 2 year project aimed at supporting the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) to develop its infrastructure for the conduct of trans-European clinical trials in accordance with the EU Clinical Trials Directive, and to facilitate International prospective clinical trials in stem cell transplantation. The initial task is to create an inventory of the existing biostatistical literature on new approaches to survival analyses that are not currently widely utilised. The estimation of survival endpoints is introduced, …

Recovery Of The Baseline Incidence Density In Censored Time-To-Event Analysis, Mikel Aickin
COBRA Preprint Series
Abstract Time-to-event analyses are often concerned with the effects of explanatory factors on the underlying incidence density, but since there is no intrinsic interest in the form of the incidence density itself, a proportional hazards model is used. When part of the purpose of the analysis is to use actual cumulative incidence for simulation, or for providing informative visual displays of the results, an estimate of the baseline incidence density is required. The usual method for estimating the baseline hazards in Cox’s proportional hazards analysis yields values that are of little use, and furthermore no standard deviations of the estimates …
