Smoothed Rank Regression With Censored Data, Glenn Heller
Smoothed Rank Regression With Censored Data, Glenn Heller
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Dept. of Epidemiology & Biostatistics Working Paper Series
A weighted rank estimating function is proposed to estimate the regression parameter vector in an accelerated failure time model with right censored data. In general, rank estimating functions are discontinuous in the regression parameter, creating difficulties in determining the asymptotic distribution of the estimator. A local distribution function is used to create a rank based estimating function that is continuous and monotone in the regression parameter vector. A weight is included in the estimating function to produce a bounded influence estimate. The asymptotic distribution of the regression estimator is developed and simulations are performed to examine its finite sample properties. …
Crude Cumulative Incidence In The Form Of A Horvitz-Thompson Like And Kaplan-Meier Like Estimator, Laura Antolini, Elia Mario Biganzoli, Patrizia Boracchi
Crude Cumulative Incidence In The Form Of A Horvitz-Thompson Like And Kaplan-Meier Like Estimator, Laura Antolini, Elia Mario Biganzoli, Patrizia Boracchi
COBRA Preprint Series
The link between the nonparametric estimator of the crude cumulative incidence of a competing risk and the Kaplan-Meier estimator is exploited. The equivalence of the nonparametric crude cumulative incidence to an inverse-probability-of-censoring weighted average of the sub-distribution function is proved. The link between the estimation of crude cumulative incidence curves and Gray's family of nonparametric tests is considered. The crude cumulative incidence is proved to be a Kaplan-Meier like estimator based on the sub-distribution hazard, i.e. the quantity on which Gray's family of tests is based. A standard probabilistic formalism is adopted to have a note accessible to applied statisticians.

Hierarchical Lévy Frailty Models And A Frailty Analysis Of Data On Infant Mortality In Norwegian Siblings, Tron Anders Moger, Odd O. Aalen
Hierarchical Lévy Frailty Models And A Frailty Analysis Of Data On Infant Mortality In Norwegian Siblings, Tron Anders Moger, Odd O. Aalen
UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series
Distributions determined by non-negative Lévy processes, which include the power variance function (PVF) distributions among others, are commonly used as frailty distributions to model dependent survival times in family data. We present a hierarchical frailty model constructed by randomizing scale parameters, corresponding to time parameters of Lévy processes, in the Lévy frailty distributions. In its simplest form, this yields a two-model with heterogeneity the individual and family level. The family level frailty is shared within families, creating dependence. In the more complex models, it is extended to allow for several levels of dependence. This yields models with nested dependence structures …
Doubly Robust Censoring Unbiased Transformations, Daniel Rubin, Mark J. Van Der Laan
Doubly Robust Censoring Unbiased Transformations, Daniel Rubin, Mark J. Van Der Laan
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
We consider random design nonparametric regression when the response variable is subject to right censoring. Following the work of Fan and Gijbels (1994), a common approach to this problem is to apply what has been termed a censoring unbiased transformation to the data to obtain surrogate responses, and then enter these surrogate responses with covariate data into standard smoothing algorithms. Existing censoring unbiased transformations generally depend on either the conditional survival function of the response of interest, or that of the censoring variable. We show that a mapping introduced in another statistical context is in fact a censoring unbiased transformation …

Recurrent Event Models In The Presence Of A Terminal Event: Comparison, Inference And Data Analysis, Xianghua Luo, Mei-Cheng Wang
Recurrent Event Models In The Presence Of A Terminal Event: Comparison, Inference And Data Analysis, Xianghua Luo, Mei-Cheng Wang
Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers
This article focuses on statistical implications of proportional rate models for recurrent event data in the presence of a terminal event. In such circumstances, various definitions of the recurrent rate function have been adopted in the proportional rate models. Although these rate functions have quite different interpretations, recognition of the differences has been lacking theoretically and practically. We compare three types of rate functions from both conceptual and quantitative perspectives; conclude that the inappropriate choice of a rate function may lead to misleading scientific conclusions. Simulations are conducted for comparisons of the focused models. Analysis of data from an AIDS …

Censored Data Regression In High-Dimension And Low-Sample Size Settings For Genomic Applications, Hongzhe Li
UPenn Biostatistics Working Papers
New high-throughput technologies are generating various types of high-dimensional genomic and proteomic data and meta-data (e.g., networks and pathways) in order to obtain a systems-level understanding of various complex diseases such as human cancers and cardiovascular diseases. As the amount and complexity of the data increase and as the questions being addressed become more sophisticated, we face the great challenge of how to model such data in order to draw valid statistical and biological conclusions. One important problem in genomic research is to relate these high-throughput genomic data to various clinical outcomes, including possibly censored survival outcomes such as age …
The Two-Sample Problem For Failure Rates Depending On A Continuous Mark: An Application To Vaccine Efficacy, Peter B. Gilbert, Ian W. Mckeague, Yanqing Sun

The efficacy of an HIV vaccine to prevent infection is likely to depend on the genetic variation of the exposing virus. This paper addresses the problem of using data on the HIV sequences that infect vaccine efficacy trial participants to 1) test for vaccine efficacy more powerfully than procedures that ignore the sequence data; and 2) evaluate the dependence of vaccine efficacy on the divergence of infecting HIV strains from the HIV strain that is contained in the vaccine. Because hundreds of amino acid sites in each HIV genome are sequenced, it is natural to treat the divergence (defined in …
Evaluating Prediction Rules For T-Year Survivors With Censored Regression Models, Hajime Uno, Tianxi Cai, Lu Tian, L.J. Wei
Evaluating Prediction Rules For T-Year Survivors With Censored Regression Models, Hajime Uno, Tianxi Cai, Lu Tian, L.J. Wei
Harvard University Biostatistics Working Paper Series
Suppose that we are interested in establishing simple, but reliable rules for predicting future t-year survivors via censored regression models. In this article, we present inference procedures for evaluating such binary classification rules based on various prediction precision measures quantified by the overall misclassification rate, sensitivity and specificity, and positive and negative predictive values. Specifically, under various working models we derive consistent estimators for the above measures via substitution and cross validation estimation procedures. Furthermore, we provide large sample approximations to the distributions of these nonsmooth estimators without assuming that the working model is correctly specified. Confidence intervals, for example, …
Survival Analysis Methods In Genetic Epidemiology, Hongzhe Li
Survival Analysis Methods In Genetic Epidemiology, Hongzhe Li
UPenn Biostatistics Working Papers
Mapping genes for complex human diseases is a challenging problem due to the fact that many such diseases are due to both genetic and enviromental risk factors and many also exhibit phenotypic heterogeneity, such as variable age of onset. Information on variable age of disease onset is often a good indicator for disease heterogeneity and incorporation of such information together with enviromental risk factors into genetic analysis should lead to more powerful tests for genetic analysis. Due to the problem of censoring, survival analysis methods have proved to be very useful for genetic analysis. In this paper, I review some …
Case-Cohort Methods For Survival Data On Families From Routine Registers, Tron Anders Moger, Yudi Pawitan, Ørnulf Borgan
Case-Cohort Methods For Survival Data On Families From Routine Registers, Tron Anders Moger, Yudi Pawitan, Ørnulf Borgan
UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series
In the Nordic countries, there exist several registers containing information on diseases and risk factors for millions of individuals. This information can be linked into families by use of personal identification numbers, and represent a great opportunity for studying diseases that show familial aggregation. Due to the size of the registers, it is difficult to analyze the data by using traditional methods for multivariate survival analysis, such as frailty or copula models. Since the size of the cohort is known, case-cohort methods based on pseudo-likelihoods are suitable for analyzing the data. We present methods for sampling control families both with …
