Abstract:
Using as initial point the model presented by Feigl and Zelen in 1965 where they showed a linear relation between Expected survival time and one of the covariant (White Blood Cell count) they present the first approach to use statistical regression analysis into measure the effect of fixed covariates on survival rate. The biggest issue is this linear relation could bring some times negative expected survival time. Then part of my project intend to present a new improve model as well as the values of the estimators using analytical solution and sample marginal posterior density. Both results are consistent and similar which suggest this model is good specified.
