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. You can specify the following options after a slash (/). All None of the graphs look particularly alarming (click here to see an alarming graph in the SAS example on assess). specifies the units of change in the continuous explanatory variable for which the customized hazard ratio is estimated. Nevertheless, in both we can see that in these data, shorter survival times are more probable, indicating that the risk of heart attack is strong initially and tapers off as time passes. The quantity value must be a positive number, with a default value of 1E4. Specify the DIST=BINOMIAL option to specify a logistic model. All For example, B*A becomes A*B if A precedes B in the CLASS statement. INTRODUCTION The PROC LIFEREG and the PROC PHREG procedures both can do survival analysis using time-to-event data, . The BMI*BMI term describes the change in this effect for each unit increase in bmi. Above we described that integrating the pdf over some range yields the probability of observing \(Time\) in that range. The same procedure could be repeated to check all covariates. If the BAYES statement is specified, the ADJUST=, STEPDOWN, TESTVALUE, LOWER, UPPER, and JOINT options are ignored. The PLCONV= option has no effect if profile-likelihood confidence intervals (CL=PL) are not requested. If we were to plot the estimate of \(S(t)\), we would see that it is a reflection of F(t) (about y=0 and shifted up by 1). As we know, each subject in the WHAS500 dataset is represented by one row of data, so the dataset is not ready for modeling time-varying covariates. It is not always possible to know a priori the correct functional form that describes the relationship between a covariate and the hazard rate. You can also duplicate the results of the CONTRAST statement with an ESTIMATE statement. (2000). Perhaps you also suspect that the hazard rate changes with age as well. The WEIGHT statement in PROC CATMOD enables you to input data summarized in cell count form. 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. To specify a Cox model with start and stop times for each interval, due to the usage of time-varying covariates, we need to specify the start and top time in the model statement: If the data come prepared with one row of data per subject each time a covariate changes value, then the researcher does not need to expand the data any further. However, in many settings, we are much less interested in modeling the hazard rates relationship with time and are more interested in its dependence on other variables, such as experimental treatment or age. Other CONTRAST statements involving classification variables with PARAM=EFFECT are constructed similarly. You can use the EFFECTPLOT statement to visualize the model. We will thus let \(r(x,\beta_x) = exp(x\beta_x)\), and the hazard function will be given by: This parameterization forms the Cox proportional hazards model. Proportional hazards may hold for shorter intervals of time within the entirety of follow up time. Since treatment A and treatment C are the first and third in the LSMEANS list, the contrast in the LSMESTIMATE statement estimates and tests their difference. Below, we show how to use the hazardratio statement to request that SAS estimate 3 hazard ratios at specific levels of our covariates. CONTRAST statement and ESTIMATE statement CONTRAST statement enables you to perform custom hypothesis tests by specifying an L vector or matrix for testing the univariate hypothesis L = 0 or the multivariate hypothesis LBM = 0. The CONTRAST statement enables you to specify a matrix, , for testing the hypothesis . The sudden upticks at the end of follow-up time are not to be trusted, as they are likely due to the few number of subjects at risk at the end. Notice also that care must be used in altering the censoring variable to accommodate the multiple rows per subject. =2. 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. The documentation for the procedure lists all ODS tables that the procedure can create, or you can use the ODS TRACE ON statement to display the table names that are produced by PROC REG. class gender; It is important to note that the survival probabilities listed in the Survival column are unconditional, and are to be interpreted as the probability of surviving from the beginning of follow up time up to the number days in the LENFOL column. We would like to allow parameters, the \(\beta\)s, to take on any value, while still preserving the non-negative nature of the hazard rate. For example: When you use the less-than-full-rank parameterization (by specifying PARAM=GLM in the CLASS statement), each row is checked for estimability. class gender; The (Proportional Hazards Regression) PHREG semi-parametric procedure performs a regression analysis of survival data based on the Cox proportional hazards model. There is no limit to the number of CONTRAST statements that you can specify, but they must appear after the MODEL statement. Because log odds are being modeled instead of means, we talk about estimating or testing contrasts of log odds rather than means as in PROC MIXED or PROC GLM. All produce equivalent results. With such data, each subject can be represented by one row of data, as each covariate only requires only value. Survivor Function Estimates for Specific Covariate Values; Analysis of Residuals; Tests to compare nonnested models are available, but not by using CONTRAST statements as discussed above. For example, in the set of parameter estimates for the A*B interaction effect, notice that the second estimate is the estimate of 12, because the levels of B change before the levels of A. and what i need is the hard ratios for outcome on exposure. 1. This paper is not limited to any particular operating system. Computing the Cell Means Using the ESTIMATE Statement The following examples concentrate on using the steps above in this situation. Lets interpret our model. run; proc lifetest data=whas500 atrisk nelson; Copyright run; Several covariates can be evaluated simultaneously. run; lenfol: length of followup, terminated either by death or censoring. To correctly specify your contrast, it is crucial to know the ordering of parameters within each effect and the variable levels associated with any parameter. Table 86.1: PROC PHREG Statement Options You can specify the following options in the PROC PHREG statement. 1 0 obj << /Type /Page /Parent 8 0 R /Resources 3 0 R /Contents 2 0 R >> endobj 2 0 obj << /Length 2896 /Filter /LZWDecode >> stream In the graph above we see the correspondence between pdfs and histograms. It is shown how this can be done more easily using the ODDSRATIO and UNITS statements in PROC LOGISTIC. Create a variable called CENSOR. Particular emphasis is given to proc lifetest for nonparametric estimation, and proc phreg for Cox regression and model evaluation. It is not at all necessary that the hazard function stay constant for the above interpretation of the cumulative hazard function to hold, but for illustrative purposes it is easier to calculate the expected number of failures since integration is not needed. 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. run; Thus, it appears, that when bmi=0, as bmi increases, the hazard rate decreases, but that this negative slope flattens and becomes more positive as bmi increases. An ESTIMATE statement for the AB11 cell mean can be written as above by rewriting the cell mean in terms of the model yielding the appropriate linear combination of parameter estimates. Acquiring more than one curve, whether survival or hazard, after Cox regression in SAS requires use of the baseline statement in conjunction with the creation of a small dataset of covariate values at which to estimate our curves of interest. First, there may be one row of data per subject, with one outcome variable representing the time to event, one variable that codes for whether the event occurred or not (censored), and explanatory variables of interest, each with fixed values across follow up time. ; The hazard function for a particular time interval gives the probability that the subject will fail in that interval, given that the subject has not failed up to that point in time. output out = dfbeta dfbeta=dfgender dfage dfagegender dfbmi dfbmibmi dfhr; have three parameters, the intercept and two parameters for ses =1 and ses A popular method for evaluating the proportional hazards assumption is to examine the Schoenfeld residuals. That is, for some subjects we do not know when they died after heart attack, but we do know at least how many days they survived. As time progresses, the Survival function proceeds towards it minimum, while the cumulative hazard function proceeds to its maximum. The E option, described later in this section, enables you to verify the proper correspondence of values to parameters. Estimating and Testing Odds Ratios with Dummy Coding Reference parameterization (using the PARAM=REF option) is also a full-rank parameterization. ALPHA= p specifies the level of significance pfor the % confidence interval for each contrast when the ESTIMATE option is specified. Summing over the entire interval, then, we would expect to observe \(x\) failures, as \(\frac{x}{t}t = x\), (assuming repeated failures are possible, such that failing does not remove one from observation). We should begin by analyzing our interactions. Plots of covariates vs dfbetas can help to identify influential outliers. fstat: the censoring variable, loss to followup=0, death=1, Without further specification, SAS will assume all times reported are uncensored, true failures. This indicates that our choice of modeling a linear and quadratic effect of bmi was a reasonable one. Here is the syntax for CONTRAST statement. 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. These techniques were developed by Lin, Wei and Zing (1993). In the graph above we can see that the probability of surviving 200 days or fewer is near 50%. The ILINK option in the LSMEANS statement provides estimates of the probabilities of cure for each combination of treatment and diagnosis. Additionally, another variable counts the number of events occurring in each interval (either 0 or 1 in Cox regression, same as the censoring variable). 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. This simpler model is nested in the above model. Words in italic are new statements added to SAS version 9.22. 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. See the documentation for more details.). The HPREG Procedure The HPSPLIT Procedure The ICLIFETEST Procedure The ICPHREG Procedure The INBREED Procedure The IRT Procedure The KDE Procedure The KRIGE2D Procedure The LATTICE Procedure The LIFEREG Procedure The LIFETEST Procedure The LOESS Procedure The LOGISTIC Procedure The MCMC Procedure The MDS Procedure The MI Procedure I am about to use cox-regression to estimate the interaction between two binary variables: Disease (1,0) and Drug (1,0). To accomplish this smoothing, the hazard function estimate at any time interval is a weighted average of differences within a window of time that includes many differences, known as the bandwidth. However, if the nested models do not have identical fixed effects, then results from ML estimation must be used to construct a LR test. The degrees of freedom are the number of linearly independent constraints implied by the CONTRAST statementthat is, the rank of . EXAMPLE 3: A Two-Factor Logistic Model with Interaction Using Dummy and Effects Coding Thus, we define the cumulative distribution function as: As an example, we can use the cdf to determine the probability of observing a survival time of up to 100 days. Consider the following medical example in which patients with one of two diagnoses (complicated or uncomplicated) are treated with one of three treatments (A, B, or C) and the result (cured or not cured) is observed. variable for ses =2. Checking the Cox model with cumulative sums of martingale-based residuals. By default, PROC GENMOD computes a likelihood ratio test for the specified contrast. We simply use the SAS procedure PHREG to obtain the final result. specifies the maximum number of iterations to achieve the convergence of the profile-likelihood confidence limits. The value number must be between 0 and 1; the default value is 0.05, which results in 95% intervals. Deploy software automatically at the click of a button on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. 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. The PLOTS=CIF option in the PROC PHREG statement displays a plot of the curves. For example, if males have twice the hazard rate of females 1 day after followup, the Cox model assumes that males have twice the hazard rate at 1000 days after follow up as well. Thus, because many observations in WHAS500 are right-censored, we also need to specify a censoring variable and the numeric code that identifies a censored observation, which is accomplished below with, However, we would like to add confidence bands and the number at risk to the graph, so we add, The Nelson-Aalen estimator is requested in SAS through the, When provided with a grouping variable in a, We request plots of the hazard function with a bandwidth of 200 days with, SAS conveniently allows the creation of strata from a continuous variable, such as bmi, on the fly with the, We also would like survival curves based on our model, so we add, First, a dataset of covariate values is created in a, This dataset name is then specified on the, This expanded dataset can be named and then viewed with the, Both survival and cumulative hazard curves are available using the, We specify the name of the output dataset, base, that contains our covariate values at each event time on the, We request survival plots that are overlaid with the, The interaction of 2 different variables, such as gender and age, is specified through the syntax, The interaction of a continuous variable, such as bmi, with itself is specified by, We calculate the hazard ratio describing a one-unit increase in age, or \(\frac{HR(age+1)}{HR(age)}\), for both genders. PROC PHREG displays the point estimate, its standard error, a Wald confidence interval, and a Wald chi-square test for each contrast. The procedure Lin, Wei, and Zing(1990) developed that we previously introduced to explore covariate functional forms can also detect violations of proportional hazards by using a transform of the martingale residuals known as the empirical score process. run; The LSMESTIMATE statement allows you to request specific comparisons. Survival analysis often begins with examination of the overall survival experience through non-parametric methods, such as Kaplan-Meier (product-limit) and life-table estimators of the survival function. proc univariate data = whas500(where=(fstat=1)); The exponential function is also equal to 1 when its argument is equal to 0. The test requires that a pivot for sweeping this matrix be at least this number times a norm of the matrix. 2. Notice that the parameter estimate for treatment A within complicated diagnosis is the same as the estimated contrast and the exponentiated parameter estimate is the same as the exponentiated contrast. The Nelson-Aalen estimator is a non-parametric estimator of the cumulative hazard function and is given by: \[\hat H(t) = \sum_{t_i leq t}\frac{d_i}{n_i},\]. 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 central assumption of Cox regression is that covariate effects on the hazard rate, namely hazard ratios, are constant over time. ESTIMATE Statement FREQ Statement HAZARDRATIO Statement . 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. Ordinary least squares regression methods fall short because the time to event is typically not normally distributed, and the model cannot handle censoring, very common in survival data, without modification. Subjects that are censored after a given time point contribute to the survival function until they drop out of the study, but are not counted as a failure. Estimating and Testing Odds Ratios with Effects Coding Multiple degree-of-freedom hypotheses can be tested by specifying multiple row-descriptions. If the interacting variable is continuous and a numeric list is specified after the equal sign, hazard ratios are computed for each value in the list. 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. 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. If ABS is greater than , then is declared nonestimable. Notice there is one row per subject, with one variable coding the time to event, lenfol: A second way to structure the data that only proc phreg accepts is the counting process style of input that allows multiple rows of data per subject. = 1 and cell ses = 2 will be the difference of b_1 and b_2. For example, if there were three subjects still at risk at time \(t_j\), the probability of observing subject 2 fail at time \(t_j\) would be: \[Pr(subject=2|failure=t_j)=\frac{h(t_j|x_2)}{h(t_j|x_1)+h(t_j|x_2)+h(t_j|x_3)}\]. `Pn.bR#l8(QBQ p9@E,IF0QlPC4NC)R- R]*C!B)Uj.$qpa *O'CAI ")7 specifies the level of significance for the % confidence interval for each contrast when the ESTIMATE option is specified. Suppose the model contains two interactions: an interaction A*B of CLASS variables A and B, and another interaction A*X of A with a continuous variable X. Springer: New York. The same results can be obtained using the ESTIMATE statement in PROC GENMOD. 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. This option is ignored when the full-rank parameterization is used. proc loess data = residuals plots=ResidualsBySmooth(smooth); With effects coding, each row of L can be written to select just one interaction parameter when multiplied by . Watch this tutorial for more. The above relationship between the cdf and pdf also implies: In SAS, we can graph an estimate of the cdf using proc univariate. The contrast of the ten LS-means specified in the LSMESTIMATE statement estimates and tests the difference between the AB11 and AB12 LS-means. By default, PLMAXITER=25. The parameter for ses1 is the difference You can perform hypothesis tests for the estimable functions, construct confidence limits, and obtain specific nonlinear transformations. The DIVISOR= option is used to ensure precision and avoid nonestimability. Construction and Computation of Estimable Functions, Specifies a list of values to divide the coefficients, Suppresses the automatic fill-in of coefficients for higher-order effects, Tunes the estimability checking difference, Determines the method for multiple comparison adjustment of estimates, Performs one-sided, lower-tailed inference, Adjusts multiplicity-corrected p-values further in a step-down fashion, Specifies values under the null hypothesis for tests, Performs one-sided, upper-tailed inference, Displays the correlation matrix of estimates, Displays the covariance matrix of estimates, Produces a joint or chi-square test for the estimable functions, Requests ODS statistical graphics if the analysis is sampling-based, Specifies the seed for computations that depend on random numbers. The contrast estimate is exponentiated to yield the odds ratio estimate. yl These statements fit the restricted, main effects model: This partial output summarizes the main-effects model: The question is whether there is a significant difference between these two models. The DIFF option estimates and tests each pairwise difference of log odds. Some data management will be required to ensure that everyone is properly censored in each interval. 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. These are indeed censored observations, further indicated by the * appearing in the unlabeled second column. Whereas with non-parametric methods we are typically studying the survival function, with regression methods we examine the hazard function, \(h(t)\). In the CONTRAST statement, the rows of L are separated by commas. In the case of categorical covariates, graphs of the Kaplan-Meier estimates of the survival function provide quick and easy checks of proportional hazards. These results come from the LSMESTIMATE statement. DIFF=ALL requests all differences, and DIFF=REF requests comparisons between the reference level and all other levels of the CLASS variable. Thus, if the average is 0 across time, then that suggests the coefficient \(p\) does not vary over time and that the proportional hazards assumption holds for covariate \(p\). The covariance matrix of the parameter estimator is computed as a sandwich estimate. For the medical example, suppose we are interested in the odds ratio for treatment A versus treatment C in the complicated diagnosis. Effects or Deviation from mean coding of a predictor replaces the actual variable in the design matrix (or model matrix) with a set of variables that use values of 1, 0, or 1 to indicate the level of the original variable. By default, pis equal to the value of the ALPHA= option in the PROC PHREG statement, or 0.05 if that option is not specified. Institute for Digital Research and Education. Data that are structured in the first, single-row way can be modified to be structured like the second, multi-row way, but the reverse is typically not true. The numerator is the hazard of death for the subject who died At first glance, we see the PROC PHREG has . The variables used in the present seminar are: The data in the WHAS500 are subject to right-censoring only. ALPHA=number specifies the level of significance for % confidence intervals. While examples in this class provide good examples of the above process for determining coefficients for CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements, there are other statements available that perform means comparisons more easily. Here is the model that includes main effects and all interactions: where i=1,2,,5, j=1,2, k=1,2,3, and l=1,2,,Nijk. 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. In the table above, we see that the probability surviving beyond 363 days = 0.7240, the same probability as what we calculated for surviving up to 382 days, which implies that the censored observations do not change the survival estimates when they leave the study, only the number at risk. One variable is created for each level of the original variable. specifies that both the contrast and the exponentiated contrast be estimated. The rows of are specified in order and are separated by commas. format gender gender. So the log odds are: For treatment C in the complicated diagnosis, O = 1, A = 1, B = 1. This is required so that the probability of being a case is modeled. for ses = 1, we will add the coefficient for ses1 to the intercept. 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). Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be This subject could be represented by 2 rows like so: This structuring allows the modeling of time-varying covariates, or explanatory variables whose values change across follow-up time. If the observed pattern differs significantly from the simulated patterns, we reject the null hypothesis that the model is correctly specified, and conclude that the model should be modified. data example8_1; set sec1_5; group1 = group - 1; run; proc phreg data = example8_1; model time*death (0)=group1; run; The HAZARDRATIO statement enables you to request hazard ratios for any variable in the model at customized settings. Then, as before, subtracting the two coefficient vectors yields the coefficient vector for testing the difference of these two averages. The most commonly used test for comparing nested models is the likelihood ratio test, but other tests (such as Wald and score tests) can also be used. Some procedures allow multiple types of coding. Hello. An assumption of the Cox proportional hazard model is a . Ignore the nonproportionality if it appears the changes in the coefficient over time are very small or if it appears the outliers are driving the changes in the coefficient.
