Creating Count-Process Datasets for Non-Proportional Hazard (Cox) Models with Interaction Variables Using R and Survival Package
Count-Process Datasets for Non-Proportional Hazard (Cox) Models with Interaction Variables In the context of survival analysis, Cox proportional hazards models are widely used to estimate the hazard rate of an event occurring at a future time based on the value of one or more predictor variables. However, when the relationship between the predictor and the hazard is not constant over time, non-proportional hazard (NPH) models are required. In this blog post, we will explore how to create count-process datasets for NPH Cox models with interaction variables using R and the survival package.
