Confidence bands for multiplicative hazards models: Flexible resampling approaches.
Dennis DoblerMarkus PaulyThomasH ScheikePublished in: Biometrics (2019)
We propose new resampling-based approaches to construct asymptotically valid time-simultaneous confidence bands for cumulative hazard functions in multistate Cox models. In particular, we exemplify the methodology in detail for the simple Cox model with time-dependent covariates, where the data may be subject to independent right-censoring or left-truncation. We use simulations to investigate their finite sample behavior. Finally, the methods are utilized to analyze two empirical examples with survival and competing risks data.
