The significant AGE*GENDER interaction term suggests that the effect of age is different by gender. The statements below generate observations from such a model: The following statements fit the main effects and interaction model. 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. The assess statement with the ph option provides an easy method to assess the proportional hazards assumption both graphically and numerically for many covariates at once. These statement essentially look like data step statements, and function in the same way. You can estimate the contrast or the exponentiated contrast (), or both, by specifying one of the following keywords: specifies that the contrast itself be estimated. The PLMAXITER= option has no effect if profile-likelihood confidence intervals (CL=PL) are not requested. To get the expected mean ; 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. This section contains 14 examples of PROC PHREG applications. A solid line that falls significantly outside the boundaries set up collectively by the dotted lines suggest that our model residuals do not conform to the expected residuals under our model. We can remove the dependence of the hazard rate on time by expressing the hazard rate as a product of \(h_0(t)\), a baseline hazard rate which describes the hazard rates dependence on time alone, and \(r(x,\beta_x)\), which describes the hazard rates dependence on the other \(x\) covariates: In this parameterization, \(h(t)\) will equal \(h_0(t)\) when \(r(x,\beta_x) = 1\). ESTIMATE Statement FREQ Statement HAZARDRATIO Statement . To assess the effects of continuous variables involved in interactions or constructed effects such as splines, see. 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. For example, the time interval represented by the first row is from 0 days to just before 1 day. \[df\beta_j \approx \hat{\beta} \hat{\beta_j}\]. where \(d_i\) is the number who failed out of \(n_i\) at risk in interval \(t_i\). Multiple degree-of-freedom hypotheses can be tested by specifying multiple row-descriptions. controls the convergence criterion for the profile-likelihood confidence limits. Now choose a coefficient vector, also with 18 elements, that will multiply the solution vector: Choose a coefficient of 1 for the intercept (), coefficients of (1 0 0 0 0) for the A term to pick up the 1 estimate, coefficients of (0 1) for the B term to pick up the 2 estimate, and coefficients of (0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0) for the A*B interaction term to pick up the 12 estimate. 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. DIFF=ALL requests all differences, and DIFF=REF requests comparisons between the reference level and all other levels of the CLASS variable. 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. Cox models are typically fitted by maximum likelihood methods, which estimate the regression parameters that maximize the probability of observing the given set of survival times. If the variable is a continuous variable, the hazard ratio compares the hazards for a given change (by default, a increase of 1 unit) in the variable. We see in the table above, that the typical subject in our dataset is more likely male, 70 years of age, with a bmi of 26.6 and heart rate of 87. The same procedure could be repeated to check all covariates. Our goal is to transform the data from its original state: to an expanded state that can accommodate time-varying covariates, like this (notice the new variable in_hosp): Notice the creation of start and stop variables, which denote the beginning and end intervals defined by hospitalization and death (or censoring). The Analysis of Maximum Likelihood Estimates table confirms the ordering of design variables in model 3d. The blue-shaded area around the survival curve represents the 95% confidence band, here Hall-Wellner confidence bands. 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. The difference between the mean of cell ses linear combination of the parameter estimates. The necessary contrast coefficients are stated in the null hypothesis above: (0 1 0 0 0 0) - (1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6) , which simplifies to the contrast shown in the LSMESTIMATE statement below. The PHREG Procedure Example 91.12 demonstrated that the log transform is a much improved functional form for Bilirubin in a Cox regression model. Consider the following data from Kalbeisch and Prentice (1980). 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. 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. Comparing One Interaction Mean to the Average of All Interaction Means The parameter for the intercept is the expected cell mean for ses =3 (Technically, because there are no times less than 0, there should be no graph to the left of LENFOL=0). The tests are equivalent. The variable representing cases and controls (e.g., CACO) MUST be redefined, or a new variable created (e.g., STATUS) so it has the value 1 for cases and the value 2 for controls. Group of ses =3 is the reference group. The SLICE and LSMEANS statements cannot be used for this more complex contrast. The value for must be between 0 and 1; the default value is 1E4. The survival function drops most steeply at the beginning of study, suggesting that the hazard rate is highest immediately after hospitalization during the first 200 days. You can fit many kinds of logistic models in many procedures including LOGISTIC, GENMOD, GLIMMIX, PROBIT, CATMOD, and others. Here are the typical set of steps to obtain survival plots by group: Lets get survival curves (cumulative hazard curves are also available) for males and female at the mean age of 69.845947 in the manner we just described. The partial results shown below suggest that interactions are not needed in the model: The simpler main-effects-only model can be fit by restricting the parameters for the interactions in the above model to zero. You can specify a contrast of the LS-means themselves, rather than the model parameters, by using the LSMESTIMATE statement. The exponential function is also equal to 1 when its argument is equal to 0. The first three parameters of the nested effect are the effects of treatments within the complicated diagnosis. Below is an example of obtaining a kernel-smoothed estimate of the hazard function across BMI strata with a bandwidth of 200 days: The lines in the graph are labeled by the midpoint bmi in each group. Below we demonstrate use of the assess statement to the functional form of the covariates. Table 1: PROC PHREG Statement Options You can specify the following options in the PROC PHREG statement. These may be either removed or expanded in the future. 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. exposure(0=no exposure, 1= yes exposure)and outcome(0=no outcome, 1= yes outcome) variable are all binary. 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. Checking the Cox model with cumulative sums of martingale-based residuals. 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. As we see above, one of the great advantages of the Cox model is that estimating predictor effects does not depend on making assumptions about the form of the baseline hazard function, \(h_0(t)\), which can be left unspecified. scatter x = hr y=dfhr / markerchar=id; The quantity value must be a positive number, with a default value of 1E4. As time progresses, the Survival function proceeds towards it minimum, while the cumulative hazard function proceeds to its maximum. The CONTRAST statement below defines seven rows in L for the seven interaction parameters resulting in a 7 DF test that all interaction parameters are zero. proc loess data = residuals plots=ResidualsBySmooth(smooth); This note focuses on assessing the effects of categorical (CLASS) variables in models containing interactions. This indicates that omitting bmi from the model causes those with low bmi values to modeled with too low a hazard rate (as the number of observed events is in excess of the expected number of events). model lenfol*fstat(0) = gender|age bmi|bmi hr; Applied Survival Analysis, Second Edition provides a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to regression modeling for time-to-event 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. In the following output, the first parameter of the treatment(diagnosis='complicated') effect tests the effect of treatment A versus the average treatment effect in the complicated diagnosis. 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. However, coefficients for the B effect remain in addition to coefficients for the A*B interaction effect. Suppose it is of interest to test the null hypothesis that cell means ABC121 and ABC212 are equal that is, H0: 121 - 212 = 0. Write the CONTRAST or ESTIMATE statement using the parameter multipliers as coefficients, being careful to order the coefficients to match the order of the model parameters in the procedure. 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. 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. How do I write an estimate statement in proc glm? 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. For a CLASS variable, a hazard ratio compares the hazards of two levels of the variable. exposure(0=no exposure, 1= yes exposure) and outcome(0=no outcome, 1= yes outcome) variable are all binary. As expected, the results show that there is no significant interaction (p=0.3129) or that the reduced model fits as well as the saturated model. If an interacting variable is a CLASS variable, variable= ALL is the default; if the interacting variable is continuous, variable= is the default, where is the average of all the sampled values of the continuous variable. However, despite our knowledge that bmi is correlated with age, this method provides good insight into bmis functional form. Thus, we can expect the coefficient for bmi to be more severe or more negative if we exclude these observations from the model. 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. Example 1: One-way ANOVA The dependent variable is write and the factor variable is ses which has three levels. time lenfol*fstat(0); run; proc phreg data = whas500; Nonparametric methods provide simple and quick looks at the survival experience, and the Cox proportional hazards regression model remains the dominant analysis method. Here are the steps we use to assess the influence of each observation on our regression coefficients: The dfbetas for age and hr look small compared to regression coefficients themselves (\(\hat{\beta}_{age}=0.07086\) and \(\hat{\beta}_{hr}=0.01277\)) for the most part, but id=89 has a rather large, negative dfbeta for hr. since it is the comparison group. Optionally, the CONTRAST statement enables you to estimate each row, , of and test the hypothesis . None of the graphs look particularly alarming (click here to see an alarming graph in the SAS example on assess). You can specify nested-by-value effects in the MODEL statement to test the effect of one variable within a particular level of another variable. The unconditional probability of surviving beyond 2 days (from the onset of risk) then is \(\hat S(2) = \frac{500 8}{500}\times\frac{492-8}{492} = 0.984\times0.98374=.9680\). However, if that is not the case, then it may be possible to use programming statement within proc phreg to create variables that reflect the changing the status of a covariate. 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. "exposure.". The Kaplan_Meier survival function estimator is calculated as: \[\hat S(t)=\prod_{t_i\leq t}\frac{n_i d_i}{n_i}, \]. From these equations we can also see that we would expect the pdf, \(f(t)\), to be high when \(h(t)\) the hazard rate is high (the beginning, in this study) and when the cumulative hazard \(H(t)\) is low (the beginning, for all studies). Because of its simple relationship with the survival function, \(S(t)=e^{-H(t)}\), the cumulative hazard function can be used to estimate the survival function. In particular we would like to highlight the following tables: Handily, proc phreg has pretty extensive graphing capabilities.< Below is the graph and its accompanying table produced by simply adding plots=survival to the proc phreg statement. Thus, by 200 days, a patient has accumulated quite a bit of risk, which accumulates more slowly after this point. class gender; PROC PHREG displays the point estimate, its standard error, a Wald confidence interval, and a Wald chi-square test for each contrast. Exponentiating this value (exp[.63363] = 1.8845) yields the exponentiated contrast value (the odds ratio estimate) from the CONTRAST statement. When the procedure reports a log pseudo-likelihood you cannot construct a LR test to compare models. The dependent variable is write and the factor variable is ses For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed Similarly, we will get the expected mean for ses = 2 by adding the intercept run; proc phreg data = whas500; to the coefficient for ses = 2. The regression equation is the hazardratio 'Effect of 1-unit change in age by gender' age / at(gender=ALL); The hazard rate thus describes the instantaneous rate of failure at time \(t\) and ignores the accumulation of hazard up to time \(t\) (unlike \(F(t\)) and \(S(t)\)). After exponentiating, the denominator is not just a simple odds, but rather a geometric mean of the treatment odds. The red curve representing the lowest BMI category is truncated on the right because the last person in that group died long before the end of followup time. The log-rank or Mantel-Haenzel test uses \(w_j = 1\), so differences at all time intervals are weighted equally. Understanding the mechanics behind survival analysis is aided by facility with the distributions used, which can be derived from the probability density function and cumulative density functions of survival times. Note that some functions, like ratios, are nonlinear combinations and cannot generally be obtained with these statements. The last 10 elements are the parameter estimates for the 10 levels of the A*B interaction, 11 through 52. Integrating the pdf over a range of survival times gives the probability of observing a survival time within that interval. 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. If PROC PHREG finds a contrast to be nonestimable, it displays missing values in corresponding rows in the results. These statements include the LSMEANS, LSMESTIMATE, and SLICE statements that are available in many procedures. The default is UNITS=1. However, one cannot test whether the stratifying variable itself affects the hazard rate significantly. 2009 by SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA. The first 12 examples use the classical method of maximum likelihood, while the last two examples illustrate the Bayesian methodology. Stated another way, are any of the interaction parameters not equal to zero as implied by the main-effects model? The Schoenfeld residual for observation \(j\) and covariate \(p\) is defined as the difference between covariate \(p\) for observation \(j\) and the weighted average of the covariate values for all subjects still at risk when observation \(j\) experiences the event. These two observations, id=89 and id=112, have very low but not unreasonable bmi scores, 15.9 and 14.8. In the simpler case of a main-effects-only model, writing CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements to make simple pairwise comparisons is more intuitive. \[f(t) = h(t)exp(-H(t))\]. This relationship would imply that moving from 1 to 2 on the covariate would cause the same percent change in the hazard rate as moving from 50 to 100. Other methods must be used to compare nonnested models and this is discussed in the section that follows. EXAMPLE 5: A Quadratic Logistic Model In this seminar we will be analyzing the data of 500 subjects of the Worcester Heart Attack Study (referred to henceforth as WHAS500, distributed with Hosmer & Lemeshow(2008)). 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. The PHREG procedure now fits frailty models with the addition of the RANDOM statement. The EXP option provides the odds ratio estimate by exponentiating the difference. The solution vector in PROC MIXED is requested with the SOLUTION option in the MODEL statement and appears as the Estimate column in the Solution for Fixed Effects table: For this model, the solution vector of parameter estimates contains 18 elements. 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. Tests to compare nonnested models are available, but not by using CONTRAST statements as discussed above. Whereas with non-parametric methods we are typically studying the survival function, with regression methods we examine the hazard function, \(h(t)\). You can specify the following optionsafter a slash (/). Using model (1) above, the AB12 cell mean, 12, is: Because averages of the errors (ijk) are assumed to be zero: Similarly, the AB11 cell mean is written this way: So, to get an estimate of the AB12 mean, you need to add together the estimates of , 1, 2, and 12. Such linear combinations can be estimated and tested using the CONTRAST and/or ESTIMATE statements available in many modeling procedures. 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. The t statistic value is the square root of the F statistic from the CONTRAST statement producing an equivalent test. We write the null hypothesis this way: The following table summarizes the data within the complicated diagnosis: The odds ratio can be computed from the data as: This means that, when the diagnosis is complicated, the odds of being cured by treatment A are 1.8845 times the odds of being cured by treatment C. The following statements display the table above and compute the odds ratio: To estimate and test this same contrast of log odds using model 3c, follow the same process as in Example 1 to obtain the contrast coefficients that are needed in the CONTRAST or ESTIMATE statement. This reinforces our suspicion that the hazard of failure is greater during the beginning of follow-up time. Also useful to understand is the cumulative hazard function, which as the name implies, cumulates hazards over time. 147-60. Therneau, TM, Grambsch PM, Fleming TR (1990). You can use the same method of writing the AB12 cell mean in terms of the model: You can write the average of cell means in terms of the model: So, the coefficient for the A parameters is 1/2; for B it is 1/3; and for AB it is 1/6. Above we described that integrating the pdf over some range yields the probability of observing \(Time\) in that range. Dummy Coding Grambsch, PM, Therneau, TM, Fleming TR. During the interval [382,385) 1 out of 355 subjects at-risk died, yielding a conditional probability of survival (the probability of survival in the given interval, given that the subject has survived up to the begininng of the interval) in this interval of \(\frac{355-1}{355}=0.9972\). Use the resulting coefficients in a CONTRAST statement to test that the difference in means is zero. The following statements print the log odds for treatments A and C in the complicated diagnosis. Some procedures allow multiple types of coding. The second model is a reduced model that contains only the main effects. Recall that when we introduce interactions into our model, each individual term comprising that interaction (such as GENDER and AGE) is no longer a main effect, but is instead the simple effect of that variable with the interacting variable held at 0. 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. | SAS FAQ We will use a data set called hsb2.sas7bdat to demonstrate. 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. Chapter 19, where \(n_i\) is the number of subjects at risk and \(d_i\) is the number of subjects who fail, both at time \(t_i\). This example shows the use of the CONTRAST and ODDSRATIO statements to compare the response at two levels of a continuous predictor when the model contains a higher-order effect. \[F(t) = 1 exp(-H(t))\] Institute for Digital Research and Education. Therefore, this contrast is also estimated by the parameter for treatment A within the complicated diagnosis in the nested effect. This technique can detect many departures from the true model, such as incorrect functional forms of covariates (discussed in this section), violations of the proportional hazards assumption (discussed later), and using the wrong link function (not discussed). Researchers are often interested in estimates of survival time at which 50% or 25% of the population have died or failed. Graphs are particularly useful for interpreting interactions. output out=residuals resmart=martingale; time lenfol*fstat(0); If too few values are specified, the remaining ones are set to 0. None of the solid blue lines looks particularly aberrant, and all of the supremum tests are non-significant, so we conclude that proportional hazards holds for all of our covariates. Notice that the baseline hazard rate, \(h_0(t)\) is cancelled out, and that the hazard rate does not depend on time \(t\): The hazard rate \(HR\) will thus stay constant over time with fixed covariates. 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. run; proc phreg data=whas500; Note that the CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements are the most flexible allowing for any linear combination of model parameters. The basic idea is that martingale residuals can be grouped cumulatively either by follow up time and/or by covariate value. Plots of the covariate versus martingale residuals can help us get an idea of what the functional from might be. The interpretation of this estimate is that we expect 0.0385 failures (per person) by the end of 3 days. 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). This option is ignored in the computation of the hazard ratios for a CLASS variable. Examples of this simpler situation can be found in the example titled "Randomized Complete Blocks with Means Comparisons and Contrasts" in the PROC GLM documentation and in this note which uses PROC GENMOD. This paper is not limited to any particular operating system. Modeling Survival Data: Extending the Cox Model. However, often we are interested in modeling the effects of a covariate whose values may change during the course of follow up time. 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. class gender; You can use the DIFF option in the LSMEANS statement. ALPHA= p specifies the level of significance pfor the % confidence interval for each contrast when the ESTIMATE option is specified. Weberian asked a slighltly similar question (Hazardratio statement, interaction in Proc Phreg (cox-regression)) but it does not answer this. Biometrika. i am trying to run Cox-regression model, so i made this code. The next two elements are the parameter estimates for the levels of B, 1 and 2. In PROC LOGISTIC, odds ratio estimates for variables involved in interactions can be most easily obtained using the ODDSRATIO statement. The parameter for ses1 is the difference displays the vector of linear coefficients such that is the log-hazard ratio, with being the vector of regression coefficients. Copyright SAS Institute, Inc. All Rights Reserved. If the BAYES statement is specified, the ADJUST=, STEPDOWN, TESTVALUE, LOWER, UPPER, and JOINT options are ignored. More than one HAZARDRATIO statement can be specified, and an optional label (specified as a quoted string) helps identify the output. However, the CONTRAST statement can be used in PROC GENMOD as shown above to produce a score test of the hypothesis.

O is the dummy variable for the complicated diagnosis, U is the dummy variable for the uncomplicated diagnosis, A, B, and C are the dummy variables for the three treatments, OA through UC are the products of the diagnosis and treatment dummy variables, jointly representing the diagnosis by treatment interaction.
