This book was released on 2011-11-18 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers competing risks and multistate models, sometimes summarized as event history analysis. These models generalize the analysis of time to a single event (survival analysis) to analysing the timing of distinct terminal events (competing risks) and possible intermediate events (multistate models). Both R and multistate methods are promoted with a focus on nonparametric methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantitative social scientists use survival analysis to understand the forces that determine the duration of events. This Element provides a guideline to new techniques and models in survival analysis, particularly in three areas: non-proportional covariate effects, competing risks, and multi-state models. It also revisits models for repeated events. The Element promotes multi-state models as a unified framework for survival analysis and highlights the role of general transition probabilities as key quantities of interest that complement traditional hazard analysis. These quantities focus on the long term probabilities that units will occupy particular states conditional on their current state, and they are central in the design and implementation of policy interventions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making complex methods more accessible to applied researchers without an advanced mathematical background, the authors present the essence of new techniques available, as well as classical techniques, and apply them to data. Practical suggestions for implementing the various methods are set off in a series of practical notes at the end of each section, while technical details of the derivation of the techniques are sketched in the technical notes. This book will thus be useful for investigators who need to analyse censored or truncated life time data, and as a textbook for a graduate course in survival analysis, the only prerequisite being a standard course in statistical methodology.

Book excerpt: Survival Analysis Using S: Analysis of Time-to-Event Data is designed as a text for a one-semester or one-quarter course in survival analysis for upper-level or graduate students in statistics, biostatistics, and epidemiology. Prerequisites are a standard pre-calculus first course in probability and statistics, and a course in applied linear regression models. No prior knowledge of S or R is assumed. A wide choice of exercises is included, some intended for more advanced students with a first course in mathematical statistics. The authors emphasize parametric log-linear models, while also detailing nonparametric procedures along with model building and data diagnostics. Medical and public health researchers will find the discussion of cut point analysis with bootstrap validation, competing risks and the cumulative incidence estimator, and the analysis of left-truncated and right-censored data invaluable. The bootstrap procedure checks robustness of cut point analysis and determines cut point(s). In a chapter written by Stephen Portnoy, censored regression quantiles - a new nonparametric regression methodology (2003) - is developed to identify important forms of population heterogeneity and to detect departures from traditional Cox models. By generalizing the Kaplan-Meier estimator to regression models for conditional quantiles, this methods provides a valuable complement to traditional Cox proportional hazards approaches.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the study of time-to-event data, an important feature is the ability to include time-varying covariates. Concerns have been raised over the use of Cox models in the presence of internal time-varying covariates. Multi-state models have been proposed as an acceptable alternative approach for internal time-varying covariates. A motivating example throughout this thesis is the development of bipolar disorder. It has been proposed that bipolar disorder progresses in a predictable sequence of clinical stages. In Chapter 2 the objective is to compare Cox models and non-parametric multi-state models in the presence of other psychiatric diagnoses. These diagnoses are coded as binary time-varying covariates in a Cox model or as states in a non-parametric multi-state model. A common assumption in Cox models with time-varying covariates is that the effect of a covariate on the event of interest is constant and permanent after it has changed. Chapter 3 presents a modification to the usual Cox model for binary time-varying covariates that allows the influence of a covariate to exponentially decay over time. Methods for generating data using the inverse cumulative density function for the proposed model are developed. Likelihood ratio tests and AIC are investigated as methods for comparing the proposed model with the commonly used permanent exposure model. A simulation study is performed and three different example data analyses are presented. One advantage to parametric multi-state models is the inclusion of misclassification. Until now, this approach has largely been confined to exponential waiting times within each state. In Chapter 4 we introduce Bayesian parametric multi-state models with unknown misclassification of states and Weibull distributed waiting times between states. Weibull waiting times allow transitions between states to depend on the time spent in the current state, a feature lacking in exponential waiting times. To fit the proposed Bayesian model, a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) Metropolis-Hastings algorithm is employed. The motivating example on the progression of bipolar disorder is presented along with simulation results. From the example analysis, there is evidence that assuming Weibull waiting times is an improvement over assuming exponential waiting times in the study of bipolar disorder.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Survival data or more general time-to-event data occur in many areas, including medicine, biology, engineering, economics, and demography, but previously standard methods have requested that all time variables are univariate and independent. This book extends the field by allowing for multivariate times. As the field is rather new, the concepts and the possible types of data are described in detail. Four different approaches to the analysis of such data are presented from an applied point of view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multi-State Survival Models for Interval-Censored Data introduces methods to describe stochastic processes that consist of transitions between states over time. It is targeted at researchers in medical statistics, epidemiology, demography, and social statistics. One of the applications in the book is a three-state process for dementia and survival in the older population. This process is described by an illness-death model with a dementia-free state, a dementia state, and a dead state. Statistical modelling of a multi-state process can investigate potential associations between the risk of moving to the next state and variables such as age, gender, or education. A model can also be used to predict the multi-state process. The methods are for longitudinal data subject to interval censoring. Depending on the definition of a state, it is possible that the time of the transition into a state is not observed exactly. However, when longitudinal data are available the transition time may be known to lie in the time interval defined by two successive observations. Such an interval-censored observation scheme can be taken into account in the statistical inference. Multi-state modelling is an elegant combination of statistical inference and the theory of stochastic processes. Multi-State Survival Models for Interval-Censored Data shows that the statistical modelling is versatile and allows for a wide range of applications.
