Log-Linear Analysis of Censored Survival Data with Partially Observed Covariates
协变量部分缺失时删失生存数据的对数线性分析
Log-linear models provide a flexible means of extending life table techniques for the analysis of censored survival data with categorical covariates, as discussed by Holford (1980) and Laird and Olivier (1981). We extend this methodology to incorporate cases in which one or more of the categorical covariates are sometimes missing. Maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters are calculated using data from all cases. This can result in large gains in efficiency over…
