✦ Synopsis

This paper presents a case study of model selection for survival analysis data. We use an approximate Bayesian method for model selection based on assessing the posterior probability of competing models given the data. We introduce the Schwarz criteria, an approximation to the logarithm of the Bayes factor, to provide an indication of evidence in favour of one model compared to another. Specifically, in the context of a depression prevention clinical trial we evaluate the efficacy of treatment in preventing or delaying the time to recurrence of depression, and evaluate how differences in the survival distributions between the two treatment groups depend on explanatory variables of interest. This investigation is based on a mixture survival model that explicitly incorporates the possibility of a surviving fraction.

This paper presents a generalization of Rao's covariance structure. In a general linear regression model, we classify the error covariance structure into several categories and investigate the efficiency of the ordinary least squares estimator (OLSE) relative to the Gauss Markov estimator (GME).

A method for the analysis of age stratified antibody prevalence surveys is developed. The age specific distribution of the quantitative results of serological antibody tests is modelled as a mixture of seropositive and seronegative components. This yields maximum likelihood estimates of the prevalen

We employ a regression model with errors that follow a continuous autoregressive process to analyse longitudinal studies. In this way, unequally spaced observations do not present a problem in the analysis. We employ a Bayesian approach, where our inferences are based on a direct resampling process

This paper discusses the analysis of randomized clinical trials where the primary endpoint is a recurrent event observed during a time period which can vary among patients. In particular it describes a method of estimating robust con"dence limits for clinically relevant parameters. As an illustrativ
