This study addresses informative cluster size in survival data analysis. New methods using cluster-weighted models provide unbiased parameter estimation, crucial for accurate risk assessment in clustered outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Epidemiology
  • Survival Analysis

Background:

  • Inference of marginal distribution in clustered data is challenging with informative cluster size.
  • Existing methods like within-cluster resampling have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate marginal distribution estimation for multivariate survival data with informative cluster size.
  • To propose and evaluate cluster-weighted Weibull and Cox proportional hazards models.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized cluster-weighted Weibull and Cox proportional hazards models.
  • Implemented the cluster-weighted Cox model using standard statistical software.
  • Conducted simulation studies to assess parameter estimation.

Main Results:
