Statistical issues in survival analysis (Part XVVVVIV)
September 25, 2024 This article focused how changing living arrangements was associated with suicide risk using survival analysis along with causal inference. The authors admitted that traditional methods like Cox model analysis were not sufficient to handle...
Statistical issues in survival analysis (Part XVVVVIII)
September 11, 2024 This article focused on joint modeling in the presence of informative censoring in a retrospective analysis in palliative care research. There has been a lack of statistical models to handle longitudinal quality of life (QOL) data and...
Statistical issues in survival analysis (Part XVVVVI)
August 15, 2024 In clinical trials that use time to event endpoints, a traditional measure has been using the hazard ratio derived from a Cox proportional hazard regression, but one must satisfy this assumption. Over time, measures that have relaxed this assumption...
Statistical issues in survival analysis (Part XVVVV)
July 31, 2024 The authors discussed applications of artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning algorithms in survival analysis to skin cancer research publications. They reported on 16 such publications. Supervised machine learning (ML) would have used existing...
Statistical issues in survival analysis (Part XVVVIV)
July 17, 2024 The authors have written a new article about using average hazard (AH) as compared to restricted mean survival time (RMST) as a measure instead of hazard ratios which are instantaneous measures of effect generally obtained through estimation of a Cox...
Statistical issues in survival analysis (Part XVVVIII)
July 4, 2024 The authors discussed the use of the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) to compare survival across centers, especially in the context of U.S. kidney transplant center evaluation. The SMR is calculated based on indirect standardization methods in general...
Statistical issues in general (Part V)
The goals of this paper were to provide a set of conditions for inverse probability weights (IPW) to target a subpopulation of the patients who have clinical equipose, establish a relationship between matching weights and overlap weight estimators, and use the beta...
Statistical issues in survival analysis (Part XVVVII)
June 5, 2024 The authors have come up with a proportional risk model to assess treatment effect in time-to-event data. One thing they first discussed which is important to note is that relative risk (RR) and hazard ratio (HR) are definitely not the same...
Statistical issues in survival analysis (Anticancer research 16835)
May 22, 2024 The authors have presented a review of current survival methods and contemporary methods that could help handle some of the issues that arise with current methods. The authors then went through description of current methods. They discussed censoring and...
Statistical issues in survival analysis (BMC Public Health article 519)
May 8, 2024 The main goal of this article was to effectively assess COVID-19 rumor patterns and causes of their persistence using survival analysis methods to thereby reduce the misinformation during the pandemic. Their data came from 754 instances of rumors from...
