Semiparametric Joint Modeling for Survival Analysis With Longitudinal Covariates
含纵向协变量的生存分析半参数联合建模
Characterizing the association between survival time and the dynamic patterns of a longitudinal covariate trajectory is of particular interest in many studies. Classical time-dependent survival models focus mainly on the link between the concurrent covariate value and the instantaneous hazard function. Consequently, the conditional survival function is often not properly defined on the whole time range, which causes difficulty in model estimation and interpretation. In this…
