| Prediction of survival probability based on a linear regression model (1992) | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| After fitting survival data with a linear regression model, it is important to know how to use the results to make prediction of the t-year survival probability or median failure time for future patients with certain covariates. We propose some simple prediction procedures without using complicated and unstable nonparametric functional estimates. The new methods are illustrated with the Stanford heart transplant data. | |||||||||||||
