April 9, 2025 The authors have generalized the pseudo-observations approach to bivariate survival data subject to right censoring. Pseudo-observations approach was originally developed by Anderson (2003) for estimating covariates effect on time-to-event data. This...

March 26, 2025 Their primary goal of their paper was to introduce a novel frailty model based on the weighted Lindley (WL) distribution for modeling clustered survival data. They used the weighted Lindley as the frailty distribution. This was a two parameter...

March 12, 2025 The authors used a novel method based on wavelet filtering and landmarking to obtain the prognostic role of a biomarker in patient death. Wavelet filters have been common in time series data to extract features and reduce noise. They also utilized...

February 26, 2025 The authors have used network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare multiple treatments simultaneously using restricted mean survival time (RMST) with individual level data (IPD). Since the NMA was mainly used with aggregate data, they had to extend this...

February 12, 2025 The authors focused on causal mediation analysis in survival analysis, more specifically with additive hazards modeling with an exposure by mediator interaction term. The causal mediation framework had come about over time from the mediation area and...
