Capture time variation in survival analysis
I am currently working with intraday time-to-event data, where the time to event typically spans just a few minutes. I want to compare the survival curves of two subpopulations in my sample.
The ...

DIfference between hazard ratio and partial hazard in survival analysis
The hazard function in survival analysis is represented as (https://in.mathworks.com/help/stats/cox-proportional-hazard-regression.html):
Here the exponential term is termed as hazard ratio as ...

Is this an adequate example for simulation and modeling uncertainty in survival and hazard curve estimates?
I'm studying simulation and in particular uncertainty in survival curve estimates, by drawing from a distribution of parameters (for the Weibull distribution), using the variance-covariance matrix ...

Obtain the survival function plot by building an overall survival regression model
I need to build an overall survival regression model that can show the survival plots for id's with multiple rows.
I have used the Weibull function to define the baseline hazard function h0(t) and Cox ...

Extended Weibull-Cox model survival function
I'm reading an article where the authors use an extended Cox-Weibull hazard model with time-varying covariates to model survival time of an individual. This individual is allowed to start at week $m$, ...

What is the meaning of the flexsurvreg plot and its res.t?
I use the flexsurverg to estimate the a Weibull survival model with a time varied covariate, where “utility” is a continuous function, and the result is shown as follows:
I plot the fit function and ...

AFT model interpretation
I am slightly confused about the way accelerated failure time models work in comparison to proportional hazard models.
Is it a correct statement that while the PH model assumes covariates multiply ...

Weibull Proportional Hazard in pymc
I’m looking to create a Bayesian proportional hazard model where the baseline hazard is modeled by a Weibull distribution (or some similar continuous distribution).
I’ve reviewed (and implemented) the ...

Is a radioactive process describable by survival analysis?
According to this source, the survival function is defined as
$ S(t) = e^{- \lambda \cdot t} $
while, according to this source, the number at time $ t $ of radioactive atoms is
$ N(t) = N_0 \cdot e^{- ...

How to interpret coefficients from weibull regression for variables of proportion?
I want to fit a weibull regression model. The variables are however given as proportions (i.e. they are in interval <0,1> ... is this compositional data if they do not sum up to 1?). An example ...

How to model survival analysis when proportional hazards assumption is not met and stratification and time-varying are not possible?
I am modelling a survival analysis over a rather long follow-up period (10 years). My exposure is time-invariant and clearly violates the proportional hazards assumptions so Cox Proportional Hazards ...

How can I compare parametric and semiparametric survival models?
On a given dataset, I am running a semiprametric Cox proportional hazards model, together with a series of parametric models (Weibul, gamma, lognormal, exponential, etc.).
How can I know which is ...

Predicting survival time from log-hazard
I have estimated a Weibull regression model in BUGS/JAGS which gives me the log-hazard as a function of intercept (baseline hazard) and covariate effects.
The intercept is estimated as -9.826 and one ...
