Book excerpt: his thesis examines the use of Bayesian LASSO regression for survival data to estimate the survival function and to select significant covariates simultaneously. We consider survival times of patients with adenocarcinoma lung cancer. The survival and genetic data are available in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network. As a pilot study, within chromosome 5, we apply Bayesian LASSO regression to explore genetic markers that may help to identify crucial genes to determine survival times of patients. Using Gibbs sampling we can obtain Markov Chain Monte Carlo samples for regression coefficients and model variance as well as LASSO penalty from their full conditional distribution. However,under the Cox Proportional Hazard model sampling from the full conditional distribution for the Bayesian LASSO regression coefficients is computationally difficult. Therefore, we use latent variables for survival likelihood and perform Bayesian inference. We compare the Bayesian LASSO with a common variable selection method and a Frequentist LASSO for the estimation of the survival function and identified critical covariates.

Download or read book Survival Analysis State of the Art written by John P. Klein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Survival analysis is a highly active area of research with applications spanning the physical, engineering, biological, and social sciences. In addition to statisticians and biostatisticians, researchers in this area include epidemiologists, reliability engineers, demographers and economists. The economists survival analysis by the name of duration analysis and the analysis of transition data. We attempted to bring together leading researchers, with a common interest in developing methodology in survival analysis, at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop. The research works collected in this volume are based on the presentations at the Workshop. Analysis of survival experiments is complicated by issues of censoring, where only partial observation of an individual's life length is available and left truncation, where individuals enter the study group if their life lengths exceed a given threshold time. Application of the theory of counting processes to survival analysis, as developed by the Scandinavian School, has allowed for substantial advances in the procedures for analyzing such experiments. The increased use of computer intensive solutions to inference problems in survival analysis~ in both the classical and Bayesian settings, is also evident throughout the volume. Several areas of research have received special attention in the volume.

Download or read book Bayesian Variable Selection in Parametric and Semiparametric High Dimensional Survival Analysis written by Kyu Ha Lee and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dissertation, we propose several Bayesian variable selection schemes forBayesian parametric and semiparametric survival models for right-censored survivaldata. In the rst chapter we introduce a special shrinkage prior on the coe cients corresponding to the predictor variables. The shrinkage prior is obtained through a scale mixture representation of Normal and Gamma distributions. The likelihood functionis constructed based on the Cox proportional hazards model framework, where the cumulative baseline hazard function is modeled a priori by a gamma process. In the second chapter we extend the idea of the shrinkage prior such that it can incorporate the existing grouping structure among the covariates. Our selected priors are similar to the elastic-net, group lasso, and fused lasso penalty. The proposed models are highly useful when we want to take into consideration the grouping structure. In the third chapter we propose a Bayesian variable selection method for high dimensional survival analysis in the context of parametric accelerated failure time (AFT) model. To identify subsets of relevant covariates the regression coe cients are assumed to follow the conditional Laplace distribution as in the rst chapter. We used a data augmentation approach to impute the survival times of censored subjects.

Download or read book Survival Analysis written by John O'Quigley and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an extensive coverage of the methodology of survival analysis, ranging from introductory level material to deeper more advanced topics. The framework is that of proportional and non-proportional hazards models; a structure that is broad enough to enable the recovery of a large number of established results as well as to open the way to many new developments. The emphasis is on concepts and guiding principles, logical and graphical. Formal proofs of theorems, propositions and lemmas are gathered together at the end of each chapter separate from the main presentation. The intended audience includes academic statisticians, biostatisticians, epidemiologists and also researchers in these fields whose focus may be more on the applications than on the theory. The text could provide the basis for a two semester course on survival analysis and, with this goal in mind, each chapter includes a section with a range of exercises as a teaching aid for instructors.
Download or read book Survival Analysis with Interval Censored Data written by Kris Bogaerts and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Survival Analysis with Interval-Censored Data: A Practical Approach with Examples in R, SAS, and BUGS provides the reader with a practical introduction into the analysis of interval-censored survival times. Although many theoretical developments have appeared in the last fifty years, interval censoring is often ignored in practice. Many are unaware of the impact of inappropriately dealing with interval censoring. In addition, the necessary software is at times difficult to trace. This book fills in the gap between theory and practice. Features: -Provides an overview of frequentist as well as Bayesian methods. -Include a focus on practical aspects and applications. -Extensively illustrates the methods with examples using R, SAS, and BUGS. Full programs are available on a supplementary website. The authors: Kris Bogaerts is project manager at I-BioStat, KU Leuven. He received his PhD in science (statistics) at KU Leuven on the analysis of interval-censored data.

Download or read book Survival Analysis Using S written by Mara Tableman and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-07-28 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Statistical Modelling of Survival Data with Random Effects written by Il Do Ha and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a groundbreaking introduction to the likelihood inference for correlated survival data via the hierarchical (or h-) likelihood in order to obtain the (marginal) likelihood and to address the computational difficulties in inferences and extensions. The approach presented in the book overcomes shortcomings in the traditional likelihood-based methods for clustered survival data such as intractable integration. The text includes technical materials such as derivations and proofs in each chapter, as well as recently developed software programs in R (“frailtyHL”), while the real-world data examples together with an R package, “frailtyHL” in CRAN, provide readers with useful hands-on tools. Reviewing new developments since the introduction of the h-likelihood to survival analysis (methods for interval estimation of the individual frailty and for variable selection of the fixed effects in the general class of frailty models) and guiding future directions, the book is of interest to researchers in medical and genetics fields, graduate students, and PhD (bio) statisticians.
