This study introduces a hybrid Cox model augmented with tree structures. This approach enhances model fitting and assesses Cox model adequacy while maintaining interpretability for survival data analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Survival Analysis
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • The Cox proportional hazards model is a cornerstone of survival data analysis.
  • Assessing the adequacy and improving the fit of Cox models remain active research areas.
  • Tree-structured modeling offers flexible, non-parametric approaches to data analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel hybrid model combining Cox regression with tree-structured modeling.
  • To enhance the flexibility and adequacy assessment of Cox proportional hazards models.
  • To maintain interpretability while improving model fitting for survival data.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a hybrid model integrating Cox proportional hazards regression with tree-structured modeling.
  • Utilizing step functions derived from tree structures to augment Cox models.
