assess var=(age bmi hr) / resample; In the code below we demonstrate the steps to take to explore the functional form of a covariate: In the left panel above, Fits with Specified Smooths for martingale, we see our 4 scatter plot smooths. Lets confirm our understanding of the calculation of the Nelson-Aalen estimator by calculating the estimated cumulative hazard at day 3: \(\hat H(3)=\frac{8}{500} + \frac{8}{492} + \frac{3}{484} = 0.0385\), which matches the value in the table. However, often we are interested in modeling the effects of a covariate whose values may change during the course of follow up time. The Kaplan_Meier survival function estimator is calculated as: \[\hat S(t)=\prod_{t_i\leq t}\frac{n_i d_i}{n_i}, \]. The ODDSRATIO statement used above with dummy coding provides the same results with effects coding. The degrees of freedom are the number of linearly independent constraints implied by the CONTRAST statementthat is, the rank of . Several covariates can be evaluated simultaneously. Note: The terms event and failure are used interchangeably in this seminar, as are time to event and failure time. Examples of this simpler situation can be found in the example titled "Randomized Complete Blocks with Means Comparisons and Contrasts" in the PROC GLM documentation and in this note which uses PROC GENMOD. The same results can be obtained using the ESTIMATE statement in PROC GENMOD. First, there may be one row of data per subject, with one outcome variable representing the time to event, one variable that codes for whether the event occurred or not (censored), and explanatory variables of interest, each with fixed values across follow up time. For example, if the survival times were known to be exponentially distributed, then the probability of observing a survival time within the interval \([a,b]\) is \(Pr(a\le Time\le b)= \int_a^bf(t)dt=\int_a^b\lambda e^{-\lambda t}dt\), where \(\lambda\) is the rate parameter of the exponential distribution and is equal to the reciprocal of the mean survival time. The SAS procedure PROC PHREG allows us to fit a proportional hazard model to a dataset. Use the Class Level Information table which shows the design variable settings. (Technically, because there are no times less than 0, there should be no graph to the left of LENFOL=0). We could thus evaluate model specification by comparing the observed distribution of cumulative sums of martingale residuals to the expected distribution of the residuals under the null hypothesis that the model is correctly specified. Similarly, because we included a BMI*BMI interaction term in our model, the BMI term is interpreted as the effect of bmi when bmi is 0. As time progresses, the Survival function proceeds towards it minimum, while the cumulative hazard function proceeds to its maximum. The (Proportional Hazards Regression) PHREG semi-parametric procedure performs a regression analysis of survival data based on the Cox proportional hazards model. This seminar covers both proc lifetest and proc phreg, and data can be structured in one of 2 ways for survival analysis. Note: This was the primary reference used for this seminar. class gender; Can i add class statement to want to see hazard ratios on exposure proc phreg data=episode; /*class exposure*/ requests that, for each Newton-Raphson iteration, PROC PHREG recompiles the risk sets corresponding to the event times for the (start,stop) style of response and recomputes the values of the time-dependent variables defined by the programming statements for each observation in the risk sets. One can also use non-parametric methods to test for equality of the survival function among groups in the following manner: In the graph of the Kaplan-Meier estimator stratified by gender below, it appears that females generally have a worse survival experience. fstat: the censoring variable, loss to followup=0, death=1, Without further specification, SAS will assume all times reported are uncensored, true failures. Suppose you want to test whether the effect of treatment A in the complicated diagnosis is different from the average effect of the treatments in the complicated diagnosis. For example: When you use the less-than-full-rank parameterization (by specifying PARAM=GLM in the CLASS statement), each row is checked for estimability. Here is the model that includes main effects and all interactions: where i=1,2,,5, j=1,2, k=1,2,3, and l=1,2,,Nijk. With such data, each subject can be represented by one row of data, as each covariate only requires only value. i am trying to run Cox-regression model, so i made this code. For example, B*A becomes A*B if A precedes B in the CLASS statement. SAS Code from All of These Examples. To do so: It appears that being in the hospital increases the hazard rate, but this is probably due to the fact that all patients were in the hospital immediately after heart attack, when they presumbly are most vulnerable. Thus far in this seminar we have only dealt with covariates with values fixed across follow up time. The log-rank or Mantel-Haenzel test uses \(w_j = 1\), so differences at all time intervals are weighted equally. Both proc lifetest and proc phreg will accept data structured this way. Biometrika. Modeling Survival Data: Extending the Cox Model. i am wondering either i add "CLASS" statement ornot. The contrast table that shows the log odds ratio and odds ratio estimates is exactly as before. Therneau, TM, Grambsch PM, Fleming TR (1990). The unconditional probability of surviving beyond 2 days (from the onset of risk) then is \(\hat S(2) = \frac{500 8}{500}\times\frac{492-8}{492} = 0.984\times0.98374=.9680\). Finally, you can use the SLICE statement. You can specify nested-by-value effects in the MODEL statement to test the effect of one variable within a particular level of another variable. Density functions are essentially histograms comprised of bins of vanishingly small widths. You can use the ESTIMATE, LSMEANS, SLICE, and TEST statements to estimate parameters and perform hypothesis tests. This option is ignored in the computation of the hazard ratios for a CLASS variable. All In the relation above, \(s^\star_{kp}\) is the scaled Schoenfeld residual for covariate \(p\) at time \(k\), \(\beta_p\) is the time-invariant coefficient, and \(\beta_j(t_k)\) is the time-variant coefficient. SAS omits them to remind you that the hazard ratios corresponding to these effects depend on other variables in the model. Copyright class gender; SAS provides easy ways to examine the \(df\beta\) values for all observations across all coefficients in the model. If only \(k\) names are supplied and \(k\) is less than the number of distinct df\betas, SAS will only output the first \(k\) \(df\beta_j\). where \(d_{ij}\) is the observed number of failures in stratum \(i\) at time \(t_j\), \(\hat e_{ij}\) is the expected number of failures in stratum \(i\) at time \(t_j\), \(\hat v_{ij}\) is the estimator of the variance of \(d_{ij}\), and \(w_i\) is the weight of the difference at time \(t_j\) (see Hosmer and Lemeshow(2008) for formulas for \(\hat e_{ij}\) and \(\hat v_{ij}\)). There are \(df\beta_j\) values associated with each coefficient in the model, and they are output to the output dataset in the order that they appear in the parameter table Analysis of Maximum Likelihood Estimates (see above). of the mean for cell ses =1 and the cell ses =3. A simple transformation of the cumulative distribution function produces the survival function, \(S(t)\): The survivor function, \(S(t)\), describes the probability of surviving past time \(t\), or \(Pr(Time > t)\). hazardratio 'Effect of 1-unit change in age by gender' age / at(gender=ALL); Instead, you model a function of the response distribution's mean. The likelihood ratio test can be used to compare any two nested models that are fit by maximum likelihood. The EXPB option adds a column in the parameter estimates table that contains exponentiated values of the corresponding parameter estimates. b(>v0Tm8rmB./Bx,G|6"7~N\ywL.W=iJv5inV_5mp,uv=dOevFjy[Wy_\%A{s-7]F6?c8((+W=Y_6clwEg?why7>I!eG/Cd P#4;pf\BGKy% Lo5V2F5BalaV OA(-{ua. We can examine residual plots for each smooth (with loess smooth themselves) by specifying the, List all covariates whose functional forms are to be checked within parentheses after, Scaled Schoenfeld residuals are obtained in the output dataset, so we will need to supply the name of an output dataset using the, SAS provides Schoenfeld residuals for each covariate, and they are output in the same order as the coefficients are listed in the Analysis of Maximum Likelihood Estimates table. (2000). Multiple degree-of-freedom hypotheses can be tested by specifying multiple row-descriptions. 81. class gender; With any procedure, models that are not nested cannot be compared using the LR test. Note: A number of sub-sections are titled Background. However, no statistical tests comparing criterion values is possible. So the log odds are: For treatment C in the complicated diagnosis, O = 1, A = 1, B = 1. DIFF=ALL requests all differences, and DIFF=REF requests comparisons between the reference level and all other levels of the CLASS variable. rights reserved. class gender; In this model, this reference curve is for males at age 69.845947 Usually, we are interested in comparing survival functions between groups, so we will need to provide SAS with some additional instructions to get these graphs. If convergence is not attained in n iterations, the corresponding profile-likelihood confidence limit for the hazard ratio is set to missing. In this case, the 12 estimate is the sixth estimate in the A*B effect requiring a change in the coefficient vector that you specify in the ESTIMATE statement. The following statements fit the nested model and compute the contrast. statement to get the L matrix. To properly test a hypothesis such as "The effect of treatment A in group 1 is equal to the treatment A effect in group 2," it is necessary to translate it correctly into a mathematical hypothesis using the fitted model. The log-rank and Wilcoxon tests in the output table differ in the weights \(w_j\) used. The correct coefficients are determined for the CONTRAST statement to estimate two odds ratios: one for an increase of one unit in X, and the second for a two unit increase. If, say, a regression coefficient changes only by 1% over time, it is unlikely that any overarching conclusions of the study would be affected. label row-description <,row-description>. The procedure Lin, Wei, and Zing(1990) developed that we previously introduced to explore covariate functional forms can also detect violations of proportional hazards by using a transform of the martingale residuals known as the empirical score process. Here, we would like to introdue two types of interaction: We would probably prefer this model to the simpler model with just gender and age as explanatory factors for a couple of reasons. It is shown how this can be done more easily using the ODDSRATIO and UNITS statements in PROC LOGISTIC. The CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements allow for estimation and testing of any linear combination of model parameters. run; In all of the plots, the martingale residuals tend to be larger and more positive at low bmi values, and smaller and more negative at high bmi values. You can fit many kinds of logistic models in many procedures including LOGISTIC, GENMOD, GLIMMIX, PROBIT, CATMOD, and others. An estimate statement corresponds to an L-matrix, which corresponds to a The survival curves for females is slightly higher than the curve for males, suggesting that the survival experience is possibly slightly better (if significant) for females, after controlling for age. proc univariate data = whas500(where=(fstat=1)); The null distribution of the cumulative martingale residuals can be simulated through zero-mean Gaussian processes. Proportional hazards may hold for shorter intervals of time within the entirety of follow up time. Survival analysis models factors that influence the time to an event. We compare 2 models, one with just a linear effect of bmi and one with both a linear and quadratic effect of bmi (in addition to our other covariates). Because the observation with the longest follow-up is censored, the survival function will not reach 0. The "Class Level Information" table shows the ordering of levels within variables. Looking at the table of Product-Limit Survival Estimates below, for the first interval, from 1 day to just before 2 days, \(n_i\) = 500, \(d_i\) = 8, so \(\hat S(1) = \frac{500 8}{500} = 0.984\). You can specify the following optionsafter a slash (/). All of the statements mentioned above can be used for this purpose. scatter x = hr y=dfhr / markerchar=id; The null hypothesis, in terms of model 3e, is: We saw above that the first component of the hypothesis, log(OddsOA) = + d + t1 + g1. I am looking at the interactive effects of X according to Y on death. Table 86.1: PROC PHREG Statement Options You can specify the following options in the PROC PHREG statement. When testing, write the null hypothesis in the form. Options for the HAZARDRATIO statement are as follows. The next two elements are the parameter estimates for the levels of B, 1 and 2. The covariate effect of \(x\), then is the ratio between these two hazard rates, or a hazard ratio(HR): \[HR = \frac{h(t|x_2)}{h(t|x_1)} = \frac{h_0(t)exp(x_2\beta_x)}{h_0(t)exp(x_1\beta_x)}\]. The exponential function is also equal to 1 when its argument is equal to 0. As shown in Example 1, tests of simple effects within an interaction can be done using any of several statements other than the CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements. If nonproportional hazards are detected, the researcher has many options with how to address the violation (Therneau & Grambsch, 2000): After fitting a model it is good practice to assess the influence of observations in your data, to check if any outlier has a disproportionately large impact on the model. are constants that are elements of the matrix associated with the effect. We see a sharper rise in the cumulative hazard right at the beginning of analysis time, reflecting the larger hazard rate during this period. Finally, we calculate the hazard ratio describing a 5-unit increase in bmi, or \(\frac{HR(bmi+5)}{HR(bmi)}\), at clinically revelant BMI scores. An ESTIMATE statement for the AB11 cell mean can be written as above by rewriting the cell mean in terms of the model yielding the appropriate linear combination of parameter estimates. From the plot we can see that the hazard function indeed appears higher at the beginning of follow-up time and then decreases until it levels off at around 500 days and stays low and mostly constant. In the following output, the first parameter of the treatment(diagnosis='complicated') effect tests the effect of treatment A versus the average treatment effect in the complicated diagnosis. model lenfol*fstat(0) = gender|age bmi|bmi hr; For this example, the table confirms that the parameters are ordered as shown in model 3c. The problem is greatly simplified using effects coding, which is available in some procedures via the PARAM=EFFECT option in the CLASS statement. The parameter for the intercept is the expected cell mean for ses =3 This simpler model is nested in the above model. Whereas with non-parametric methods we are typically studying the survival function, with regression methods we examine the hazard function, \(h(t)\). PROC PHREG syntax is similar to that of the other regression procedures in the SAS System. The individual AB11 and AB12 cell means are: The coefficients for the average of the AB21 and AB22 cells are determined in the same fashion. Using model (1) above, the AB12 cell mean, 12, is: Because averages of the errors (ijk) are assumed to be zero: Similarly, the AB11 cell mean is written this way: So, to get an estimate of the AB12 mean, you need to add together the estimates of , 1, 2, and 12. proc loess data = residuals plots=ResidualsBySmooth(smooth); specifies the level of significance for the % confidence interval for each contrast when the ESTIMATE option is specified. Therefore, you would use the following CONTRAST statement: To contrast the third level with the average of the first two levels, you would test. While only certain procedures are illustrated below, this discussion applies to any modeling procedure that allows these statements. In this seminar we will be analyzing the data of 500 subjects of the Worcester Heart Attack Study (referred to henceforth as WHAS500, distributed with Hosmer & Lemeshow(2008)). Comparing One Interaction Mean to the Average of All Interaction Means Computed statistics are based on the asymptotic chi-square distribution of the Wald statistic. However, we can still get an idea of the hazard rate using a graph of the kernel-smoothed estimate. \[f(t) = h(t)exp(-H(t))\]. specifies that both the contrast and the exponentiated contrast be estimated. It is calculated by integrating the hazard function over an interval of time: Let us again think of the hazard function, \(h(t)\), as the rate at which failures occur at time \(t\).
