Abstract:
The linear transformation model is a semiparametric model which contains the Cox proportional hazards model and the proportional odds model as special cases. Cai et al. (Biometrika 87:867-878, 2000) have proposed an inference procedure for the linear transformation model with correlated censored observations. In this article, we develop formal and graphical model checking techniques for the linear transformation models based on cumulative sums of martingale-type residuals. The proposed method is illustrated with a clinical trial data.

Residuals and Least-Squares Property
If the observed data point lies above the line, the residual is positive, and the line underestimates the actual data value for y. If the observed data point lies below the line, the residual is negative, and the line overestimates the actual data value for y.
