Simple Regression Methods for Survival Time Studies
生存时间研究的简单回归方法
Given a set of grouped survival data, least squares estimates are proposed for the parameters of four survival distributions that can be fit: exponential, linear hazard, Gompertz and Weibull. Sample estimates of the hazard function are utilized in the least squares procedures and a method is given for selecting a distribution for further investigation based on the likelihood under the four survival models. A Monte Carlo study demonstrated that the least squares estimates are…
