This paper will discuss this question by using some examples. Additionally, a few heavily influential points may be causing nonproportional hazards to be detected, so it is important to use graphical methods to ensure this is not the case. Computing the Cell Means Using the ESTIMATE Statement 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. For any of the full-rank parameterizations, if an effect is not specified in the CONTRAST statement, all of its coefficients in the matrix are set to 0. Notice the. (2000). Because the observation with the longest follow-up is censored, the survival function will not reach 0. This is the log odds. The Cox model contains no explicit intercept parameter, so it is not valid to specify one in the CONTRAST statement. Stated another way, are any of the interaction parameters not equal to zero as implied by the main-effects model? With such data, each subject can be represented by one row of data, as each covariate only requires only value. 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. This seminar covers both proc lifetest and proc phreg, and data can be structured in one of 2 ways for survival analysis. Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be Alternatively, the data can be expanded in a data step, but this can be tedious and prone to errors (although instructive, on the other hand). If proportional hazards holds, the graphs of the survival function should look parallel, in the sense that they should have basically the same shape, should not cross, and should start close and then diverge slowly through follow up time. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. This suggests that perhaps the functional form of bmi should be modified. You can obtain Schoenfeld residuals and score residuals by using the OUTPUT statement. Technical Support can assist you with syntax and other questions that relate to CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements. The LSMESTIMATE statement can also be used. Here we use proc lifetest to graph \(S(t)\). Biometrika. Two logistic models are fit in this example: The first model is saturated, meaning that it contains all possible main effects and interactions using all available degrees of freedom. 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. Using the equations, \(h(t)=\frac{f(t)}{S(t)}\) and \(f(t)=-\frac{dS}{dt}\), we can derive the following relationships between the cumulative hazard function and the other survival functions: \[S(t) = exp(-H(t))\] For a more detailed definition of nested and nonnested models, see the Clarke (2001) reference cited in the sample program. Comparing Nested Models Table 64.4 summarizes important options in the ESTIMATE statement. In the case of a dichotomous explanatory variable with values 0 and 1 (like exposure in your data) the results with vs. without a CLASS statement are essentially the same. Then there are three parameters () representing the first three levels, and the fourth parameter is represented by, To test the first versus the fourth level of A, you would test. The value must be between 0 and 1. See the "Parameterization of PROC GLM Models" section in the PROC GLM documentation for some important details on how the design variables are created. Use the Class Level Information table which shows the design variable settings. Example Suppose we wish to fit a PH model to the data from . Therneau, TM, Grambsch, PM. The second model is a reduced model that contains only the main effects. Checking the Cox model with cumulative sums of martingale-based residuals. The design variables that are generated for the nested term are the same as those generated by the interaction term previously. var lenfol gender age bmi hr; Estimating and Testing a Difference of Means For simple pairwise contrasts like this involving a single effect, there are several other ways to obtain the test. It is shown how this can be done more easily using the ODDSRATIO and UNITS statements in PROC LOGISTIC. Thus, we again feel justified in our choice of modeling a quadratic effect of bmi. model lenfol*fstat(0) = gender|age bmi|bmi hr ; PROC PLM was released with SAS 9.22 in 2010. We simply use the SAS procedure PHREG to obtain the final result. SAS provides easy ways to examine the \(df\beta\) values for all observations across all coefficients in the model. Both proc lifetest and proc phreg will accept data structured this way. Confidence intervals that do not include the value 1 imply that hazard ratio is significantly different from 1 (and that the log hazard rate change is significanlty different from 0). This article emphasizes four features of PROC PLM: You can use the SCORE statement to score the model on new data. 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. DIFF=ALL requests all differences, and DIFF=REF requests comparisons between the reference level and all other levels of the CLASS variable. If this option is not specified, PROC PHREG finds all the variables that interact with the variable of interest. scatter x = hr y=dfhr / markerchar=id; Rather than the usual main effects and interaction model (3c), the same tasks can be accomplished using an equivalent nested model: The nested term uses the same degrees of freedom as the treatment and interaction terms in the previous model. The hazard function is also generally higher for the two lowest BMI categories. Notice in the Analysis of Maximum Likelihood Estimates table above that the Hazard Ratio entries for terms involved in interactions are left empty. A complete description of the hazard rates relationship with time would require that the functional form of this relationship be parameterized somehow (for example, one could assume that the hazard rate has an exponential relationship with time). The value that you specify in the option divides all the coefficients that are provided in the ESTIMATE statement. Because of the positive skew often seen with followup-times, medians are often a better indicator of an average survival time. = 1 and cell ses = 2 will be the difference of b_1 and b_2. The effect of bmi is significantly lower than 1 at low bmi scores, indicating that higher bmi patients survive better when patients are very underweight, but that this advantage disappears and almost seems to reverse at higher bmi levels. This section contains 14 examples of PROC PHREG applications. Examples of Writing CONTRAST and ESTIMATE Statements Introduction EXAMPLE 1: A Two-Factor Model with Interaction Computing the Cell Means Using the ESTIMATE Statement Estimating and Testing a Difference of Means A More Complex Contrast Comparing One Interaction Mean to the Average of All Interaction Means For these models, the response is no longer modeled directly. The coefficients that are needed in the ESTIMATE statement are determined by writing what you want to estimate in terms of the fitted model. We generally expect the hazard rate to change smoothly (if it changes) over time, rather than jump around haphazardly. 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. Earlier in the seminar we graphed the Kaplan-Meier survivor function estimates for males and females, and gender appears to adhere to the proportional hazards assumption. The dfbeta measure, \(df\beta\), quantifies how much an observation influences the regression coefficients in the model. The quantity value must be a positive number, with a default value of 1E4. We, as researchers, might be interested in exploring the effects of being hospitalized on the hazard rate. In this case, the 12 estimate is the sixth estimate in the A*B effect requiring a change in the coefficient vector that you specify in the ESTIMATE statement. Biometrika. In the code below, we show how to obtain a table and graph of the Kaplan-Meier estimator of the survival function from proc lifetest: Above we see the table of Kaplan-Meier estimates of the survival function produced by proc lifetest. In large datasets, very small departures from proportional hazards can be detected. (1995). If these proportions systematically differ among strata across time, then the \(Q\) statistic will be large and the null hypothesis of no difference among strata is more likely to be rejected. The likelihood ratio and Wald statistics are asymptotically equivalent. 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. However, the process of constructing CONTRAST statements is the same: write the hypothesis of interest in terms of the fitted model to determine the coefficients for the statement. See. From these equations we can see that the cumulative hazard function \(H(t)\) and the survival function \(S(t)\) have a simple monotonic relationship, such that when the Survival function is at its maximum at the beginning of analysis time, the cumulative hazard function is at its minimum. The rows of are specified in order and are separated by commas. 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: \[Pr(subject=2|failure=t_j)=\frac{h(t_j|x_2)}{h(t_j|x_1)+h(t_j|x_2)+h(t_j|x_3)}\]. The covariate effect of \(x\), then is the ratio between these two hazard rates, or a hazard ratio(HR): \[HR = \frac{h(t|x_2)}{h(t|x_1)} = \frac{h_0(t)exp(x_2\beta_x)}{h_0(t)exp(x_1\beta_x)}\]. following, where ses1 is the dummy variable for ses =1 and ses2 is the dummy Graphs are particularly useful for interpreting interactions. First, each of the effects, including both interactions, are significant. You can use the EFFECTPLOT statement to visualize the model. Phreg For Survival Analysis In Sas 9 has been minimal coverage in the available literature to9 guide researchers, practitioners, and students who wish to apply these methods to health-related areas of study. It contains numerous examples in SAS and R. Grambsch, PM, Therneau, TM. specifies which differences to consider for the level comparisons of a CLASS variable. Write down the model that you are using the procedure to fit. The unconditional probability of surviving beyond 2 days (from the onset of risk) then is \(\hat S(2) = \frac{500 8}{500}\times\frac{492-8}{492} = 0.984\times0.98374=.9680\). rights reserved. With effects coding, the parameters are constrained to sum to zero. Limitations on constructing valid LR tests. The contrast table that shows the log odds ratio and odds ratio estimates is exactly as before. PROC PHREG syntax is similar to that of the other regression procedures in the SAS System. Imagine we have a random variable, \(Time\), which records survival times. These statement essentially look like data step statements, and function in the same way. For example, if the model contains the interaction of a CLASS variable A and a continuous variable X, the following specification displays a table of hazard ratios comparing the hazards of each pair of levels of A at X=3: The HAZARDRATIO statement identifies the variable whose hazard ratios are to be evaluated. We can see this reflected in the survival function estimate for LENFOL=382. There are two crucial parts to this: Write down the hypothesis to be tested or quantity to be estimated in terms of the model's parameters and simplify. where \(d_{ij}\) is the observed number of failures in stratum \(i\) at time \(t_j\), \(\hat e_{ij}\) is the expected number of failures in stratum \(i\) at time \(t_j\), \(\hat v_{ij}\) is the estimator of the variance of \(d_{ij}\), and \(w_i\) is the weight of the difference at time \(t_j\) (see Hosmer and Lemeshow(2008) for formulas for \(\hat e_{ij}\) and \(\hat v_{ij}\)). Thus, by 200 days, a patient has accumulated quite a bit of risk, which accumulates more slowly after this point. In the graph above we see the correspondence between pdfs and histograms. 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. Fortunately, it is very simple to create a time-varying covariate using programming statements in proc phreg. All of the statements mentioned above can be used for this purpose. The "Class Level Information" table shows the ordering of levels within variables. Once you have identified the outliers, it is good practice to check that their data were not incorrectly entered. output out = dfbeta dfbeta=dfgender dfage dfagegender dfbmi dfbmibmi dfhr; Computing the Cell Means Using the ESTIMATE Statement, Estimating and Testing a Difference of Means, Comparing One Interaction Mean to the Average of All Interaction Means, Example 1: A Two-Factor Model with Interaction, coefficient vectors that are used in calculating the LS-means, Example 2: A Three-Factor Model with Interactions, Example 3: A Two-Factor Logistic Model with Interaction Using Dummy and Effects Coding, Some procedures allow multiple types of coding. proc sgplot data = dfbeta; The survival function estimate of the the unconditional probability of survival beyond time \(t\) (the probability of survival beyond time \(t\) from the onset of risk) is then obtained by multiplying together these conditional probabilities up to time \(t\) together. run; Note: This was the primary reference used for this seminar. Biometrics. The solid lines represent the observed cumulative residuals, while dotted lines represent 20 simulated sets of residuals expected under the null hypothesis that the model is correctly specified. See, In most cases, models fit in PROC GLIMMIX using the RANDOM statement do not use a true log likelihood. If the elements of are not specified for an effect that contains a specified effect, then the elements of the specified effect are distributed over the levels of the higher-order effect just as the GLM procedure does for its CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements. I am looking at the interactive effects of X according to Y on death. These statements include the LSMEANS, LSMESTIMATE, and SLICE statements that are available in many procedures. Thus, in the first table, we see that the hazard ratio for age, \(\frac{HR(age+1)}{HR(age)}\), is lower for females than for males, but both are significantly different from 1. PROC PHREG provides the possibility to compute the Breslow estimator of the baseline cumulative hazard function based on the estimates from a conventional Cox model. The Analysis of Maximum Likelihood Estimates table confirms the ordering of design variables in model 3d. Similarly, the SLICEBY, DIFF, and EXP options in the SLICE statement estimate and test differences and odds ratios in the complicated diagnosis. Censored observations are represented by vertical ticks on the graph. have three parameters, the intercept and two parameters for ses =1 and ses On the right panel, Residuals at Specified Smooths for martingale, are the smoothed residual plots, all of which appear to have no structure. If the BAYES statement is specified, the ADJUST=, STEPDOWN, TESTVALUE, LOWER, UPPER, and JOINT options are ignored. The test requires that a pivot for sweeping this matrix be at least this number times a norm of the matrix. When a subject dies at a particular time point, the step function drops, whereas in between failure times the graph remains flat. 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. This coding scheme is used by default by PROC CATMOD and PROC LOGISTIC and can be specified in these and some other procedures such as PROC GENMOD with the PARAM=EFFECT option in the CLASS statement. model lenfol*fstat(0) = gender age;; In each of the graphs above, a covariate is plotted against cumulative martingale residuals. 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. Disease: 1=Disease, 0=No disease Drug: 1=Drug, 0=No drug This make the interaction a "2x2 table" (as below). Grambsch and Therneau (1994) show that a scaled version of the Schoenfeld residual at time \(k\) for a particular covariate \(p\) will approximate the change in the regression coefficient at time \(k\): \[E(s^\star_{kp}) + \hat{\beta}_p \approx \beta_j(t_k)\]. run; proc lifetest data=whas500 atrisk nelson; You can also duplicate the results of the CONTRAST statement with an ESTIMATE statement. run; This is the null hypothesis to test: Writing this contrast in terms of model parameters: Note that the coefficients for the INTERCEPT and A effects cancel out, removing those effects from the final coefficient vector. The regression equation is the \[f(t) = h(t)exp(-H(t))\]. As a consequence, you can test or estimate only homogeneous linear combinations (those with zero-intercept coefficients, such as contrasts that represent group differences) for the GLM parameterization. 557-72. Other methods must be used to compare nonnested models and this is discussed in the section that follows. The null distribution of the cumulative martingale residuals can be simulated through zero-mean Gaussian processes. Still, although their effects are strong, we believe the data for these outliers are not in error and the significance of all effects are unaffected if we exclude them, so we include them in the model. Constant multiplicative changes in the hazard rate may instead be associated with constant multiplicative, rather than additive, changes in the covariate, and might follow this relationship: \[HR = exp(\beta_x(log(x_2)-log(x_1)) = exp(\beta_x(log\frac{x_2}{x_1}))\]. While only certain procedures are illustrated below, this discussion applies to any modeling procedure that allows these statements. 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. Finally, writing the hypothesis 12 1/6ijij in terms of the model results in these contrast coefficients: 0 for , 1/2 and 1/2 for A, 1/3, 2/3, and 1/3 for B, and 1/6, 5/6, 1/6, 1/6, 1/6, and 1/6 for AB. You can request the CIF curves for a particular set of covariates by using the BASELINE statement. 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. You do not need to include all effects that are included in the MODEL statement. It is similar to the CONTRAST statement in PROC GLM and PROC CATMOD, depending on the coding schemes used with any categorical variables involved. We could thus evaluate model specification by comparing the observed distribution of cumulative sums of martingale residuals to the expected distribution of the residuals under the null hypothesis that the model is correctly specified. Thus far in this seminar we have only dealt with covariates with values fixed across follow up time. Within SAS, proc univariate provides easy, quick looks into the distributions of each variable, whereas proc corr can be used to examine bivariate relationships. i am trying to run Cox-regression model, so i made this code. None of the graphs look particularly alarming (click here to see an alarming graph in the SAS example on assess). We will use a data set called hsb2.sas7bdat to demonstrate. By default, PLMAXITER=25. 147-60. var lenfol gender age bmi hr; One can request that SAS estimate the survival function by exponentiating the negative of the Nelson-Aalen estimator, also known as the Breslow estimator, rather than by the Kaplan-Meier estimator through the method=breslow option on the proc lifetest statement. You write the contrast of log odds in terms of the nested model (3d): Notice that this simple contrast is exactly the same contrast that is estimated for a main effect parameter a comparison of the level's effect versus the effect of the last (reference) level. output out = dfbeta dfbeta=dfgender dfage dfagegender dfbmi dfbmibmi dfhr; One can also use non-parametric methods to test for equality of the survival function among groups in the following manner: In the graph of the Kaplan-Meier estimator stratified by gender below, it appears that females generally have a worse survival experience. The survival function is undefined past this final interval at 2358 days. ; | SAS FAQ We will use a data set called hsb2.sas7bdat to demonstrate. If convergence is not attained in n iterations, the corresponding profile-likelihood confidence limit for the hazard ratio is set to missing. In the code below we fit a Cox regression model where we allow examine the effects of gender, age, bmi, and heart rate on the hazard rate. 51. The DIVISOR= option is used to ensure precision and avoid nonestimability. 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. Many, but not all, patients leave the hospital before dying, and the length of stay in the hospital is recorded in the variable los. 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. 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.
