Cox Regression • h(t), represents how the risk changes with time, and exp represents the effect of covariates (or factors/features) • identifying significant prognostic factors • most commonly used
Cox Regression • To estimate the coefficients, β, Cox (1972) proposes a partial likelihood function based on a conditional probability of failure Statistical Methods for Survival Data Analysis, Third Edition, A JOHN WILEY & SONS, INC., PUBLICATION • By solving the regression problem, we get: • Regression Coefficient (>0 bad, <0 good, =0 no effect) • Standard Error • p-Value
A Example • The estimated risk of dying for patients at least 50 years of age is exp(1.01)=2.75 times higher than that for patients younger than 50. • Patients with 100% cellularity have a 42% higher risk of dying than patients with less than 100% cellularity. • If we consider standard Error • Age (1.12, 6.75) • Cellularity (0.60, 3.35)
