Survival analysis without survival data: connecting length-biased and case-control data
没有生存数据的生存分析:连接长度偏倚与病例对照数据
We show that relative mean survival parameters of a semiparametric log-linear model can be estimated using covariate data from an incident sample and a prevalent sample, even when there is no prospective follow-up to collect any survival data. Estimation is based on an induced semiparametric density ratio model for covariates from the two samples, and it shares the same structure as for a logistic regression model for case-control data. Likelihood inference coincides with…
