Restricted mean survival times for comparing grouped survival data: a Bayesian nonparametric approach
比较分组生存数据的限制平均生存时间:贝叶斯非参数方法
Comparing survival experiences of different groups of data is an important issue in several applied problems. A typical example is where one wishes to investigate treatment effects. Here we propose a new Bayesian approach based on restricted mean survival times (RMST). A nonparametric prior is specified for the underlying survival functions: this extends the standard univariate neutral to the right processes to a multivariate setting and induces a prior for the RMST's. We…
