Hazard ratios are computed at each value of the list if the list is specified, or at each level of the interacting variable if ALL is specified, or at the reference level of the interacting variable if REF is specified. We also calculate the hazard ratio between females and males, or \(\frac{HR(gender=1)}{HR(gender=0)}\) at ages 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80. Many transformations of the survivor function are available for alternate ways of calculating confidence intervals through the conftype option, though most transformations should yield very similar confidence intervals. Since the contrast involves only the ten LS-means, it is much more straight-forward to specify. The value number must be between 0 and 1; the default value is 0.05, which results in 95% intervals. However, widening will also mask changes in the hazard function as local changes in the hazard function are drowned out by the larger number of values that are being averaged together. All of the statements mentioned above can be used for this purpose. The following ODDSRATIO statement provides the same estimate of the treatment A vs. treatment C odds ratio in the complicated diagnosis as above (along with odds ratio estimates for the other treatment pairs in that diagnosis). The degrees of freedom are the number of linearly independent constraints implied by the CONTRAST statementthat is, the rank of . Note that the CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements are the most flexible allowing for any linear combination of model parameters. PROC PHREG provides the possibility to compute the Breslow estimator of the baseline cumulative hazard function based on the estimates from a conventional Cox model. This paper is not limited to any particular operating system. The problem is greatly simplified using effects coding, which is available in some procedures via the PARAM=EFFECT option in the CLASS statement. specifies the maximum number of iterations to achieve the convergence of the profile-likelihood confidence limits. Therneau, TM, Grambsch PM, Fleming TR (1990). For this example, the table confirms that the parameters are ordered as shown in model 3c. We generally expect the hazard rate to change smoothly (if it changes) over time, rather than jump around haphazardly. 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. For a row vector of the contrast matrix , define to be equal to ABS if ABS is greater than 0; otherwise, equals 1. The first element is the estimate of the intercept, . The SAS procedure PROC PHREG allows us to fit a proportional hazard model to a dataset. Other CONTRAST statements involving classification variables with PARAM=EFFECT are constructed similarly. In other words, we would expect to find a lot of failure times in a given time interval if 1) the hazard rate is high and 2) there are still a lot of subjects at-risk. yl Note that within a set of coefficients for an effect you can leave off any trailing zeros. data example8_1; set sec1_5; group1 = group - 1; run; proc phreg data = example8_1; model time*death (0)=group1; run; Notice that the interval during which the first 25% of the population is expected to fail, [0,297) is much shorter than the interval during which the second 25% of the population is expected to fail, [297,1671). For each subject, the entirety of follow up time is partitioned into intervals, each defined by a start and stop time. This study examined several factors, such as age, gender and BMI, that may influence survival time after heart attack. Positive values of \(df\beta_j\) indicate that the exclusion of the observation causes the coefficient to decrease, which implies that inclusion of the observation causes the coefficient to increase. This can be particularly difficult with dummy (PARAM=GLM) coding. The value number must be between 0 and 1; the default value is 0.05, which results in 95% intervals. You use model 3e to expand the average treatment effect: So the hypothesis, written in terms of the model parameters, is simply: The following CONTRAST statement used in PROC LOGISTIC estimates and tests this hypothesis, and produces the following output tables: In PROC GENMOD, use this equivalent ESTIMATE statement: The exponentiated contrast estimate, 0.83, is not really an odds ratio. 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 \(Pr(Time > t)\). C?1D!^$w"I&#I" NF[cPdn .c@hHa"3IX"P+ !Hp? proc univariate data = whas500 (where= (fstat=1)); var lenfol; cdfplot lenfol; run; In the graph above we can see that the probability of surviving 200 days or fewer is near 50%. Still, although their effects are strong, we believe the data for these outliers are not in error and the significance of all effects are unaffected if we exclude them, so we include them in the model. In addition to using the CONTRAST statement, a likelihood ratio test can be constructed using the likelihood values obtained by fitting each of the two models. else in_hosp = 1; The difficulty is constructing combinations that are estimable and that jointly test the set of interactions. In the second table, we see that the hazard ratio between genders, \(\frac{HR(gender=1)}{HR(gender=0)}\), decreases with age, significantly different from 1 at age = 0 and age = 20, but becoming non-signicant by 40. Indicator or dummy coding of a predictor replaces the actual variable in the design matrix (or model matrix) with a set of variables that use values of 0 or 1 to indicate the level of the original variable. See, In most cases, models fit in PROC GLIMMIX using the RANDOM statement do not use a true log likelihood. ALPHA=number specifies the level of significance for % confidence intervals. Then there are three parameters () representing the first three levels, and the fourth parameter is represented by, To test the first versus the fourth level of A, you would test. Biometrics. \[f(t) = h(t)exp(-H(t))\]. Non-parametric methods are appealing because no assumption of the shape of the survivor function nor of the hazard function need be made. class gender; Several covariates can be evaluated simultaneously. Survivor Function Estimates for Specific Covariate Values; Analysis of Residuals; I am looking at the interactive effects of X according to Y on death. specifies that both the contrast and the exponentiated contrast be estimated. model lenfol*fstat(0) = gender age;; Indeed the hazard rate right at the beginning is more than 4 times larger than the hazard 200 days later. These are the equivalent PROC GENMOD statements: A More Complex Contrast with Effects Coding. This is critical for properly ordering the coefficients in the CONTRAST or ESTIMATE statement. One interpretation of the cumulative hazard function is thus the expected number of failures over time interval \([0,t]\). var lenfol gender age bmi hr; Once you have identified the outliers, it is good practice to check that their data were not incorrectly entered. Confidence intervals that do not include the value 1 imply that hazard ratio is significantly different from 1 (and that the log hazard rate change is significanlty different from 0). These statements generate data from the above model: The following statements fit model (2) and display the solution vector and cell means. 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. model lenfol*fstat(0) = gender|age bmi|bmi hr ; SAS expects individual names for each \(df\beta_j\)associated with a coefficient. The design variables that are generated for the nested term are the same as those generated by the interaction term previously. This technique can detect many departures from the true model, such as incorrect functional forms of covariates (discussed in this section), violations of the proportional hazards assumption (discussed later), and using the wrong link function (not discussed). So what is the probability of observing subject \(i\) fail at time \(t_j\)? Lin, DY, Wei, LJ, Ying, Z. As we see above, one of the great advantages of the Cox model is that estimating predictor effects does not depend on making assumptions about the form of the baseline hazard function, \(h_0(t)\), which can be left unspecified. For example, suppose an effect coded CLASS variable A has four levels. 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. I would use the CLASS statement (because exposure is a classification variable) and explicitly specify the reference level so that the intended results are clear. Using dummy coding, the right-hand side of the logistic model looks like it does when modeling a normally distributed response as in Example 1: where i=1,2,,5, j=1,2, k=1, 2,,Nij. Here are the typical set of steps to obtain survival plots by group: Lets get survival curves (cumulative hazard curves are also available) for males and female at the mean age of 69.845947 in the manner we just described. The value pmust be between 0 and 1. During the next interval, spanning from 1 day to just before 2 days, 8 people died, indicated by 8 rows of LENFOL=1.00 and by Observed Events=8 in the last row where LENFOL=1.00. We can estimate the cumulative hazard function using proc lifetest, the results of which we send to proc sgplot for plotting. With this simple model, we 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 PLMAXITER= option has no effect if profile-likelihood confidence intervals (CL=PL) are not requested. where \(R_j\) is the set of subjects still at risk at time \(t_j\). When a subject dies at a particular time point, the step function drops, whereas in between failure times the graph remains flat. Therneau and colleagues(1990) show that the smooth of a scatter plot of the martingale residuals from a null model (no covariates at all) versus each covariate individually will often approximate the correct functional form of a covariate. In our previous model we examined the effects of gender and age on the hazard rate of dying after being hospitalized for heart attack. These techniques were developed by Lin, Wei and Zing (1993). You can specify a contrast of the LS-means themselves, rather than the model parameters, by using the LSMESTIMATE statement. Each row of the table corresponds to an interval of time, beginning at the time in the LENFOL column for that row, and ending just before the time in the LENFOL column in the first subsequent row that has a different LENFOL value. These results come from the LSMESTIMATE statement. The CONTRAST statement provides a mechanism for obtaining customized hypothesis tests. If our Cox model is correctly specified, these cumulative martingale sums should randomly fluctuate around 0. output out = dfbeta dfbeta=dfgender dfage dfagegender dfbmi dfbmibmi dfhr; run; The likelihood ratio test can be used to compare any two nested models that are fit by maximum likelihood. Below we plot survivor curves across several ages for each gender through the follwing steps: As we surmised earlier, the effect of age appears to be more severe in males than in females, reflected by the greater separation between curves in the top graaph. Nonparametric methods provide simple and quick looks at the survival experience, and the Cox proportional hazards regression model remains the dominant analysis method. Note that the ESTIMATE statement displays the estimated difference in cell means (2.5148) and a t-test that this difference is equal to zero, while the CONTRAST statement provides only an F-test of the difference. In each of the tables, we have the hazard ratio listed under Point Estimate and confidence intervals for the hazard ratio. The PHREG Procedure: Examples: PHREG Procedure. Include covariate interactions with time as predictors in the Cox model. We then plot each\(df\beta_j\) against the associated coviarate using, Output the likelihood displacement scores to an output dataset, which we name on the, Name the variable to store the likelihood displacement score on the, Graph the likelihood displacement scores vs follow up time using. As you'll see in the examples that follow, there are some important steps in properly writing a CONTRAST or ESTIMATE statement: Writing CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements can become difficult when interaction or nested effects are part of the model. fstat: the censoring variable, loss to followup=0, death=1, Without further specification, SAS will assume all times reported are uncensored, true failures. The ESTIMATE statement syntax enables you to specify the coefficient vector in sections as just described, with one section for each model effect: Note that this same coefficient vector is given in the table of LS-means coefficients, which was requested by the E option in the LSMEANS statement. The ESTIMATE statement provides a mechanism for obtaining custom hypothesis tests. For any of the full-rank parameterizations, if an effect is not specified in the CONTRAST statement, all of its coefficients in the matrix are set to 0. We could test for different age effects with an interaction term between gender and age. If only \(k\) names are supplied and \(k\) is less than the number of distinct df\betas, SAS will only output the first \(k\) \(df\beta_j\). model martingale = bmi / smooth=0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8; Note that the CONTRAST statement in PROC LOGISTIC provides an estimate of the contrast as well as a test that it equals zero, so an ESTIMATE statement is not provided. (Technically, because there are no times less than 0, there should be no graph to the left of LENFOL=0). The cell means can also be obtained by using the ESTIMATE statement to compute the appropriate linear combinations of model parameters. The value that you specify in the option divides all the coefficients that are provided in the ESTIMATE statement. model lenfol*fstat(0) = gender|age bmi hr; This can be done by multiplying the vector of parameter estimates (the solution vector) by a vector of coefficients such that their product is this sum. Integrating the pdf over a range of survival times gives the probability of observing a survival time within that interval. However, this is something that cannot be estimated with the ODDSRATIO statement which only compares odds of levels of a specified variable. model lenfol*fstat(0) = gender|age bmi|bmi hr ; proc loess data = residuals plots=ResidualsBySmooth(smooth); The CONTRAST statement enables you to specify a matrix, , for testing the hypothesis . 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. Hello. We see a sharper rise in the cumulative hazard right at the beginning of analysis time, reflecting the larger hazard rate during this period. So, this test can be used with models that are fit by many procedures such as GENMOD, LOGISTIC, MIXED, GLIMMIX, PHREG, PROBIT, and others, but there are cases with some of these procedures in which a LR test cannot be constructed: Nonnested models can still be compared using information criteria such as AIC, AICC, and BIC (also called SC). The following statements print the log odds for treatments A and C in the complicated diagnosis. PROC PLM was released with SAS 9.22 in 2010. The WHAS500 data are stuctured this way. 557-72. During the interval [382,385) 1 out of 355 subjects at-risk died, yielding a conditional probability of survival (the probability of survival in the given interval, given that the subject has survived up to the begininng of the interval) in this interval of \(\frac{355-1}{355}=0.9972\). PROC PHREG syntax is similar to that of the other regression procedures in the SAS System. and then i would like to see the trends on age group. The LSMEANS statement computes the cell means for the 10 A*B cells in this example. For example, we found that the gender effect seems to disappear after accounting for age, but we may suspect that the effect of age is different for each gender. A complete description of the hazard rates relationship with time would require that the functional form of this relationship be parameterized somehow (for example, one could assume that the hazard rate has an exponential relationship with time). \[df\beta_j \approx \hat{\beta} \hat{\beta_j}\]. 1> Computing from the regression coefficient estimates of PROC PHREG output, 2> Recoding the values of the explanatory variable such that the increase is equal to one unit, 3> Using the CLASS statement to specify the explanatory variable in PROC TPHREG (experimental) procedure. All The PHREG procedure will produce inverse hazard ratio measuring instead the effect of Standard of Care versus the effect of study Drug Dose Regimen 2. One can request that SAS estimate the survival function by exponentiating the negative of the Nelson-Aalen estimator, also known as the Breslow estimator, rather than by the Kaplan-Meier estimator through the method=breslow option on the proc lifetest statement. In PROC GENMOD or PROC GLIMMIX, use the EXP option in the ESTIMATE statement. It is intuitively appealing to let \(r(x,\beta_x) = 1\) when all \(x = 0\), thus making the baseline hazard rate, \(h_0(t)\), equivalent to a regression intercept. The PLCONV= option has no effect if profile-likelihood confidence intervals (CL=PL) are not requested. Because the observation with the longest follow-up is censored, the survival function will not reach 0. Only these two statements may be flexible enough to estimate or test sufficiently complex linear combinations of model parameters. The ODDSRATIO statement used above with dummy coding provides the same results with effects coding. For observation \(j\), \(df\beta_j\) approximates the change in a coefficient when that observation is deleted. Multiple degree-of-freedom hypotheses can be tested by specifying multiple row-descriptions. It is not always possible to know a priori the correct functional form that describes the relationship between a covariate and the hazard rate. We will model a time-varying covariate later in the seminar. You can perform hypothesis tests for the estimable functions, construct confidence limits, and obtain specific nonlinear transformations. This convention can affect the way in which you specify the matrix in your CONTRAST statement. requests that each individual contrast (that is, each row, , of ) or exponentiated contrast () be estimated and tested. Biometrika. run; proc phreg data = whas500(where=(id^=112 and id^=89)); Thus, we can expect the coefficient for bmi to be more severe or more negative if we exclude these observations from the model. We thus calculate the coefficient with the observation, call it \(\beta\), and then the coefficient when observation \(j\) is deleted, call it \(\beta_j\), and take the difference to obtain \(df\beta_j\). In the code below, we show how to obtain a table and graph of the Kaplan-Meier estimator of the survival function from proc lifetest: Above we see the table of Kaplan-Meier estimates of the survival function produced by proc lifetest. When the procedure reports a log pseudo-likelihood you cannot construct a LR test to compare models. These results are from the SLICE statement: The LSMESTIMATE statement produces these results: Following are the relevant sections of the CONTRAST, ESTIMATE, and LSMEANS statement results: Suppose you want to test the average of AB11 and AB12 versus the average of AB21 and AB22. Examples: PHREG Procedure References The PLAN Procedure The PLS Procedure The POWER Procedure The Power and Sample Size Application The PRINCOMP Procedure The PRINQUAL Procedure The PROBIT Procedure The QUANTREG Procedure The REG Procedure The ROBUSTREG Procedure The RSREG Procedure The SCORE Procedure The SEQDESIGN Procedure The SEQTEST Procedure In SAS, we can graph an estimate of the cdf using proc univariate. If the elements of are not specified for an effect that contains a specified effect, then the elements of the specified effect are distributed over the levels of the higher-order effect just as the GLM procedure does for its CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements. So the log odds are: For treatment C in the complicated diagnosis, O = 1, A = 1, B = 1. The following parameters are specified in the CONTRAST statement: identifies the contrast on the output. (1993). All of those hazard rates are based on the same baseline hazard rate \(h_0(t_i)\), so we can simplify the above expression to: \[Pr(subject=2|failure=t_j)=\frac{exp(x_2\beta)}{exp(x_1\beta)+exp(x_2\beta)+exp(x_3\beta)}\]. The Cox model contains no explicit intercept parameter, so it is not valid to specify one in the CONTRAST statement. Once outliers are identified, we then decide whether to keep the observation or throw it out, because perhaps the data may have been entered in error or the observation is not particularly representative of the population of interest. run; proc phreg data = whas500; A Nested Model The Kaplan_Meier survival function estimator is calculated as: \[\hat S(t)=\prod_{t_i\leq t}\frac{n_i d_i}{n_i}, \]. `Pn.bR#l8(QBQ p9@E,IF0QlPC4NC)R- R]*C!B)Uj.$qpa *O'CAI ")7 This option is not applicable to a Bayesian analysis. The null distribution of the cumulative martingale residuals can be simulated through zero-mean Gaussian processes. As before, it is vital to know the order of the design variables that are created for an effect so that you properly order the contrast coefficients in the CONTRAST statement. run; proc phreg data = whas500; Write the CONTRAST or ESTIMATE statement using the parameter multipliers as coefficients, being careful to order the coefficients to match the order of the model parameters in the procedure. Notice that the baseline hazard rate, \(h_0(t)\) is cancelled out, and that the hazard rate does not depend on time \(t\): The hazard rate \(HR\) will thus stay constant over time with fixed covariates. EXAMPLE 4: Comparing Models The number of variables that are created is one fewer than the number of levels of the original variable, yielding one fewer parameters than levels, but equal to the number of degrees of freedom. The same procedure could be repeated to check all covariates. "exposure.". Notice that if you add up the rows for diagnosis (or treatments), the sum is zero. INTRODUCTION The PROC LIFEREG and the PROC PHREG procedures both can do survival analysis using time-to-event data, . These statements include the LSMEANS, LSMESTIMATE, and SLICE statements that are available in many procedures. Any estimable linear combination of model parameters can be tested using the procedure's CONTRAST statement. Using the equations, \(h(t)=\frac{f(t)}{S(t)}\) and \(f(t)=-\frac{dS}{dt}\), we can derive the following relationships between the cumulative hazard function and the other survival functions: \[S(t) = exp(-H(t))\] The surface where the smoothing parameter=0.2 appears to be overfit and jagged, and such a shape would be difficult to model. The statements below fit the model, estimate each part of the hypothesis, and estimate and test the hypothesis. All produce equivalent results. The exponential function is also equal to 1 when its argument is equal to 0. Because of its simple relationship with the survival function, \(S(t)=e^{-H(t)}\), the cumulative hazard function can be used to estimate the survival function. Thus, it might be easier to think of \(df\beta_j\) as the effect of including observation \(j\) on the the coefficient. The LSMESTIMATE statement again makes this easier. 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. In the graph above we see the correspondence between pdfs and histograms. The next five elements are the parameter estimates for the levels of A, 1 through 5. Estimates are formed as linear estimable functions of the form . Recall that when we introduce interactions into our model, each individual term comprising that interaction (such as GENDER and AGE) is no longer a main effect, but is instead the simple effect of that variable with the interacting variable held at 0. Maximum likelihood methods attempt to find the \(\beta\) values that maximize this likelihood, that is, the regression parameters that yield the maximum joint probability of observing the set of failure times with the associated set of covariate values. 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). The estimate of survival beyond 3 days based off this Nelson-Aalen estimate of the cumulative hazard would then be \(\hat S(3) = exp(-0.0385) = 0.9623\). The LSMEANS, LSMESTIMATE, and SLICE statements cannot be used with effects coding. Based on past research, we also hypothesize that BMI is predictive of the hazard rate, and that its effect may be non-linear. model (start, stop)*status(0) = in_hosp ; B cells in this example, suppose an effect you can perform tests!
