Bayes factors for two-group comparisons in Cox regression with an application for reverse-engineering raw data from summary statistics.
The use of Cox proportional hazards regression to analyze time-to-event data is ubiquitous in biomedical research. Typically, the frequentist framework is used to draw conclusions about whether hazards are different between patients in an experimental and a control condition. We offer a procedure to compute Bayes factors for simple Cox models, both for the scenario where the full data are available and for the scenario where only summary statistics are available. The procedure is implemented in our 'baymedr' R package. The usage of Bayes factors remedies some shortcomings of frequentist inference and has the potential to save scarce resources.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Applied Statistics provides a forum for communication between both applied statisticians and users of applied statistical techniques across a wide range of disciplines. These areas include business, computing, economics, ecology, education, management, medicine, operational research and sociology, but papers from other areas are also considered. The editorial policy is to publish rigorous but clear and accessible papers on applied techniques. Purely theoretical papers are avoided but those on theoretical developments which clearly demonstrate significant applied potential are welcomed. Each paper is submitted to at least two independent referees.
