Flexible parametric survival regression modelling

Anaya-Izquierdo, K. (Speaker)

Activity: Public, Community and School Engagement › Public talk, lecture, debate, seminar, workshop

Description

In this talk I will introduce a novel regression
modelling methodology where the key building block
is the cumulative hazard function rather the hazard
rate function. We exploit analytical properties that
allow the cumulative hazard to serve as a clean
modelling tool to construct new and flexible
parametric survival regression models as well as
new frailty models that do not require explicit
integration. We will show that the new constructions
recover and generalise known models such as the
Proportional Hazards and Accelerated Failure Time
models. We illustrate some aspects of the
methodology in some real and simulated datasets.
