Semiparametric Mixed-Effects Models for Clustered Failure Time Data
聚类失效时间数据的半参数混合效应模型
The Cox proportional hazards model with a random effect has been proposed for the analysis of data which consist of a large number of small clusters of correlated failure time observations. The class of linear transformation models provides many useful alternatives to the Cox model for analyzing univariate failure time data. In this article, we generalize these models by incorporating random effects, which generate the dependence among the failure times within the cluster,…
