The first element is the estimate of the intercept, . This study examined several factors, such as age, gender and BMI, that may influence survival time after heart attack. You can use the EFFECTPLOT statement to visualize the model. To get the expected mean One interpretation of the cumulative hazard function is thus the expected number of failures over time interval \([0,t]\). model lenfol*fstat(0) = gender|age bmi|bmi hr;
The parameter for the intercept is the expected cell mean for ses =3 SAS computes differences in the Nelson-Aalen estimate of \(H(t)\). model lenfol*fstat(0) = gender|age bmi|bmi hr ;
Plots of covariates vs dfbetas can help to identify influential outliers. 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. In large datasets, very small departures from proportional hazards can be detected. To correctly specify your contrast, it is crucial to know the ordering of parameters within each effect and the variable levels associated with any parameter. linear combination of the parameter estimates. The LSMEANS, LSMESTIMATE, and SLICE statements cannot be used with effects coding. 147-60. Estimating and Testing Odds Ratios with Effects Coding. The log-rank and Wilcoxon tests in the output table differ in the weights \(w_j\) used. Therneau, TM, Grambsch PM, Fleming TR (1990). If you specify a CONTRAST statement involving A alone, the matrix contains nonzero terms for both A and A*B, since A*B contains A. However, each of the other 3 at the higher smoothing parameter values have very similar shapes, which appears to be a linear effect of bmi that flattens as bmi increases. Grambsch, PM, Therneau, TM, Fleming TR. The model is the same as model (1) above with just a change in the subscript ranges. There are two crucial parts to this: Write down the hypothesis to be tested or quantity to be estimated in terms of the model's parameters and simplify. my dataset includes age, period, outcome, drug age : 1 2 3 (categorical variable) period : 1~365 days ( continuos variable) outcome( :0 1 ( 0 : without outcome, 1: with outcome) drug : 0 . 2009 by SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA. Estimates are formed as linear estimable functions of the form . Whereas with non-parametric methods we are typically studying the survival function, with regression methods we examine the hazard function, \(h(t)\). 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. format gender gender. Note that there are 5 2 3 = 30 cell means. With appropriate data modification and weighting as described above, this baseline hazard function is exactly equal to the baseline subdistribution hazard function of a PSH model. Let us further suppose, for illustrative purposes, that the hazard rate stays constant at \(\frac{x}{t}\) (\(x\) number of failures per unit time \(t\)) over the interval \([0,t]\). Because PROC CATMOD also uses effects coding, you can use the following CONTRAST statement in that procedure to get the same results as above. For simple uses, only the PROC PHREG and MODEL statements are required. 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. run; proc phreg data=whas500;
See the "Parameterization of PROC GLM Models" section in the PROC GLM documentation for some important details on how the design variables are created. 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. 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. By default, Wald confidence limits are produced. run;
During the next interval, spanning from 1 day to just before 2 days, 8 people died, indicated by 8 rows of LENFOL=1.00 and by Observed Events=8 in the last row where LENFOL=1.00. We thus calculate the coefficient with the observation, call it \(\beta\), and then the coefficient when observation \(j\) is deleted, call it \(\beta_j\), and take the difference to obtain \(df\beta_j\). We also identify id=89 again and id=112 as influential on the linear bmi coefficient (\(\hat{\beta}_{bmi}=-0.23323\)), and their large positive dfbetas suggest they are pulling up the coefficient for bmi when they are included. This section contains 14 examples of PROC PHREG applications. When you use effect coding (by specifying PARAM=EFFECT in the CLASS statement), all parameters are directly estimable (involve no other parameters). model lenfol*fstat(0) = gender|age bmi hr;
The hazard function is also generally higher for the two lowest BMI categories. These provide some statistical background for survival analysis for the interested reader (and for the author of the seminar!). The EXP option provides the odds ratio estimate by exponentiating the difference. 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. The result is Row1 in the table of LS-means coefficients. 557-72. 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. I would use the CLASS statement (because exposure is a classification variable) and explicitly specify the reference level so that the intended results are clear. These results are from the SLICE statement: The LSMESTIMATE statement produces these results: Following are the relevant sections of the CONTRAST, ESTIMATE, and LSMEANS statement results: Suppose you want to test the average of AB11 and AB12 versus the average of AB21 and AB22. Only these two statements may be flexible enough to estimate or test sufficiently complex linear combinations of model parameters. We generally expect the hazard rate to change smoothly (if it changes) over time, rather than jump around haphazardly. model lenfol*fstat(0) = gender|age bmi|bmi hr ;
Limitations on constructing valid LR tests. PROC PHREG handles missing level combinations of categorical variables in the same manner as PROC GLM. Although the coding scheme is different, you still follow the same steps to determine the contrast coefficients. A common way to address both issues is to parameterize the hazard function as: In this parameterization, \(h(t|x)\) is constrained to be strictly positive, as the exponential function always evaluates to positive, while \(\beta_0\) and \(\beta_1\) are allowed to take on any value. Survivor Function Estimates for Specific Covariate Values; Analysis of Residuals; Writing the means and their difference in terms of model (2): The following ESTIMATE and CONTRAST statements estimate these means, their difference, and also test that the difference is equal to zero. The second three parameters are the effects of the treatments within the uncomplicated diagnosis. In regression models for survival analysis, we attempt to estimate parameters which describe the relationship between our predictors and the hazard rate. It is similar to the CONTRAST statement in PROC GLM and PROC CATMOD, depending on the coding schemes used with any categorical variables involved. This is an extension of the nested effects that you can specify in other procedures such as GLM and LOGISTIC. Reference parameterization (using the PARAM=REF option) is also a full-rank parameterization. Using dummy coding, the right-hand side of the logistic model looks like it does when modeling a normally distributed response as in Example 1: where i=1,2,,5, j=1,2, k=1, 2,,Nij. The exponential function is also equal to 1 when its argument is equal to 0. exposure(0=no exposure, 1= yes exposure)and outcome(0=no outcome, 1= yes outcome) variable are all binary. Optionally, the CONTRAST statement enables you to estimate each row, , of and test the hypothesis . While only certain procedures are illustrated below, this discussion applies to any modeling procedure that allows these statements. Notice also that care must be used in altering the censoring variable to accommodate the multiple rows per subject. For details about the syntax of the ESTIMATE statement, see the section ESTIMATE Statement of The Analysis of Maximum Likelihood Estimates table confirms the ordering of design variables in model 3d. Click here to download the dataset used in this seminar. specifies that both the contrast and the exponentiated contrast be estimated. The correct coefficients are determined for the CONTRAST statement to estimate two odds ratios: one for an increase of one unit in X, and the second for a two unit increase. Positive values of \(df\beta_j\) indicate that the exclusion of the observation causes the coefficient to decrease, which implies that inclusion of the observation causes the coefficient to increase. If these proportions systematically differ among strata across time, then the \(Q\) statistic will be large and the null hypothesis of no difference among strata is more likely to be rejected. Note that some functions, like ratios, are nonlinear combinations and cannot generally be obtained with these statements. A label is required for every contrast specified, and it must be enclosed in quotes. scatter x = age y=dfage / markerchar=id;
The SAS procedure PROC PHREG allows us to fit a proportional hazard model to a dataset. specifies the maximum number of iterations to achieve the convergence of the profile-likelihood confidence limits. Values of the PLSINGULAR= option must be numeric. Notice the additional option, We then specify the name of this dataset in the, We request separate lines for each age using, We request that SAS create separate survival curves by the, We also add the newly created time-varying covariate to the, Run a null Cox regression model by leaving the right side of equation empty on the, Save the martingale residuals to an output dataset using the, The fraction of the data contained in each neighborhood is determined by the, A desirable feature of loess smooth is that the residuals from the regression do not have any structure. As time progresses, the Survival function proceeds towards it minimum, while the cumulative hazard function proceeds to its maximum. This paper is not limited to any particular operating system. Basing the test on the REML results is generally preferred. Similarly, we will get the expected mean for ses = 2 by adding the intercept As an example, suppose that you intend to use PROC REG to perform a linear regression, and you want to capture the R-square value in a SAS data set. Use the Class Level Information table which shows the design variable settings. Estimating and Testing Odds Ratios with Dummy Coding output out = dfbeta dfbeta=dfgender dfage dfagegender dfbmi dfbmibmi dfhr;
The above relationship between the cdf and pdf also implies: In SAS, we can graph an estimate of the cdf using proc univariate. 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. All produce equivalent results. It is quite powerful, as it allows for truncation, time-varying covariates and . You can specify the following optionsafter a slash (/). Additionally, none of the supremum tests are significant, suggesting that our residuals are not larger than expected. Dummy Coding class gender;

For example, suppose that the model contains effects A and B and their interaction A*B. 77(1). yl where \(d_{ij}\) is the observed number of failures in stratum \(i\) at time \(t_j\), \(\hat e_{ij}\) is the expected number of failures in stratum \(i\) at time \(t_j\), \(\hat v_{ij}\) is the estimator of the variance of \(d_{ij}\), and \(w_i\) is the weight of the difference at time \(t_j\) (see Hosmer and Lemeshow(2008) for formulas for \(\hat e_{ij}\) and \(\hat v_{ij}\)). For example, suppose an effect coded CLASS variable A has four levels. For example, if males have twice the hazard rate of females 1 day after followup, the Cox model assumes that males have twice the hazard rate at 1000 days after follow up as well. Department of Statistics Consulting Center, Department of Biomathematics Consulting Clinic. The sudden upticks at the end of follow-up time are not to be trusted, as they are likely due to the few number of subjects at risk at the end. Below we plot survivor curves across several ages for each gender through the follwing steps: As we surmised earlier, the effect of age appears to be more severe in males than in females, reflected by the greater separation between curves in the top graaph. run; proc phreg data = whas500;
The statements below fit the model, estimate each part of the hypothesis, and estimate and test the hypothesis. The following statements fit the model and compute the AB11 and AB12 cell means by using the LSMEANS statement and equivalent ESTIMATE statements: Suppose you want to test that the AB11 and AB12 cell means are equal. The log-rank or Mantel-Haenzel test uses \(w_j = 1\), so differences at all time intervals are weighted equally. See. This is critical for properly ordering the coefficients in the CONTRAST or ESTIMATE statement. Means for the AB11 and AB12 cells (highlighted in the above table) are computed below using the ESTIMATE statement. This can be done by multiplying the vector of parameter estimates (the solution vector) by a vector of coefficients such that their product is this sum. Nevertheless, the bmi graph at the top right above does not look particularly random, as again we have large positive residuals at low bmi values and smaller negative residuals at higher bmi values. SAS provides built-in methods for evaluating the functional form of covariates through its assess statement. Therefore, you would use the following CONTRAST statement: To contrast the third level with the average of the first two levels, you would test. The background necessary to explain the mathematical definition of a martingale residual is beyond the scope of this seminar, but interested readers may consult (Therneau, 1990). These may be either removed or expanded in the future. run; lenfol: length of followup, terminated either by death or censoring. Notice that the difference in log odds for these two cells (1.02450 0.39087 = 0.63363) is the same as the log odds ratio estimate that is provided by the CONTRAST statement. In addition to using the CONTRAST statement, a likelihood ratio test can be constructed using the likelihood values obtained by fitting each of the two models. The result, while not strictly an odds ratio, is useful as a comparison of the odds of treatment A to the "average" odds of the treatments. 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. In the graph above we can see that the probability of surviving 200 days or fewer is near 50%. The E option shows how each cell mean is formed by displaying the coefficient vectors that are used in calculating the LS-means. In a nutshell, these statistics sum the weighted differences between the observed number of failures and the expected number of failures for each stratum at each timepoint, assuming the same survival function of each stratum. Shared Concepts and Topics. Again, trailing zero coefficients can be omitted. specifies the level of significance for the % confidence interval for each contrast when the ESTIMATE option is specified. By default, is equal to the value of the ALPHA= option in the PROC PHREG statement, or 0.05 if that option is not specified. Instead, you model a function of the response distribution's mean. A More Complex Contrast with Effects Coding An assumption of the Cox proportional hazard model is a . By default, PROC GENMOD computes a likelihood ratio test for the specified contrast. You can use the DIFF option in the LSMEANS statement. Also useful to understand is the cumulative hazard function, which as the name implies, cumulates hazards over time. ESSENTIAL STEPS in using PROC PHREG. Lets take a look at later survival times in the table: From LENFOL=368 to 376, we see that there are several records where it appears no events occurred. proc sgplot data = dfbeta;
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. class gender;
rights reserved. Stratify the model by the nonproportional covariate. you might need to print it in landscape mode to avoid truncation of the right edge. The LSMESTIMATE statement allows you to request specific comparisons. The DIFF option in the LSMEANS statement provides all pairwise comparisons of the ten LS-means. 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. PROC PHREG syntax is similar to that of the other regression procedures in the SAS System. 81. Standard nonparametric techniques do not typically estimate the hazard function directly. (output of var-covar matrix of estimates) MULTIPASS (less diskspace, longer execution) NOPRINT NOSUMMARY . Write down the model that you are using the procedure to fit. Note that the difference in log odds is equivalent to the log of the odds ratio: So, by exponentiating the estimated difference in log odds, an estimate of the odds ratio is provided. This option is ignored in the estimation of hazard ratios for a continuous variable. Many, but not all, patients leave the hospital before dying, and the length of stay in the hospital is recorded in the variable los. 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. then the procedure provides no results, either displaying Non-est in the table of results or issuing this message in the log: The estimate is declared nonestimable simply because the coefficients 1/3 and 1/6 are not represented precisely enough. Estimating and Testing a Difference of Means Applied Survival Analysis. The ODDSRATIO statement used above with dummy coding provides the same results with effects coding. Table 86.1: PROC PHREG Statement Options You can specify the following options in the PROC PHREG statement. The ESTIMATE statement provides a mechanism for obtaining custom hypothesis tests. The EXP option exponentiates each difference providing odds ratio estimates for each pair. Significant departures from random error would suggest model misspecification. proc univariate data = whas500(where=(fstat=1));
Here is the model that includes main effects and all interactions: where i=1,2,,5, j=1,2, k=1,2,3, and l=1,2,,Nijk. specifies the alpha level of the interval estimates for the hazard ratios. If this option is not specified, PROC PHREG finds all the variables that interact with the variable of interest. controls the convergence criterion for the profile-likelihood confidence limits. o1LSRD"Qh&3[F&g
w/!|#+QnHA8Oy9 , If the interacting variable is a CLASS variable, you can specify, after the equal sign, a list of quoted strings corresponding to various levels of the CLASS variable, or you can specify the keyword ALL or REF. The degrees of freedom are the number of linearly independent constraints implied by the CONTRAST statementthat is, the rank of . The effect of bmi is significantly lower than 1 at low bmi scores, indicating that higher bmi patients survive better when patients are very underweight, but that this advantage disappears and almost seems to reverse at higher bmi levels. It is not always possible to know a priori the correct functional form that describes the relationship between a covariate and the hazard rate. The default is UNITS=1. See, In most cases, models fit in PROC GLIMMIX using the RANDOM statement do not use a true log likelihood. In the code below we fit a Cox regression model where we allow examine the effects of gender, age, bmi, and heart rate on the hazard rate. Graphs of the Kaplan-Meier estimate of the survival function allow us to see how the survival function changes over time and are fortunately very easy to generate in SAS: The step function form of the survival function is apparent in the graph of the Kaplan-Meier estimate. These results come from the LSMESTIMATE statement. Note: This was the primary reference used for this seminar. Some data management will be required to ensure that everyone is properly censored in each interval. hazardratio 'Effect of 1-unit change in age by gender' age / at(gender=ALL);
These statistics are provided in most procedures using maximum likelihood estimation. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. (1993). for ses = 1, we will add the coefficient for ses1 to the intercept. following, where ses1 is the dummy variable for ses =1 and ses2 is the dummy The SLICE and LSMEANS statements cannot be used for this more complex contrast. Many transformations of the survivor function are available for alternate ways of calculating confidence intervals through the conftype option, though most transformations should yield very similar confidence intervals. A More Complex Contrast A simple transformation of the cumulative distribution function produces the survival function, \(S(t)\): The survivor function, \(S(t)\), describes the probability of surviving past time \(t\), or \(Pr(Time > t)\). The t statistic value is the square root of the F statistic from the CONTRAST statement producing an equivalent test. With effects coding, each row of L can be written to select just one interaction parameter when multiplied by . Graphs are particularly useful for interpreting interactions. Because the observation with the longest follow-up is censored, the survival function will not reach 0. run; proc phreg data = whas500;
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. Both proc lifetest and proc phreg will accept data structured this way. With mixed models fit in PROC MIXED, if the models are nested in the covariance parameters and have identical fixed effects, then a LR test can be constructed using results from REML estimation (the default) or from ML estimation. We can plot separate graphs for each combination of values of the covariates comprising the interactions. ALPHA=number specifies the level of significance for % confidence intervals. The PLMAXITER= option has no effect if profile-likelihood confidence intervals (CL=PL) are not requested. This reinforces our suspicion that the hazard of failure is greater during the beginning of follow-up time. Example 1: One-way ANOVA The dependent variable is write and the factor variable is ses which has three levels. In our previous model we examined the effects of gender and age on the hazard rate of dying after being hospitalized for heart attack. 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. Words in italic are new statements added to SAS version 9.22. For each subject, the entirety of follow up time is partitioned into intervals, each defined by a start and stop time. ALPHA= p specifies the level of significance pfor the % confidence interval for each contrast when the ESTIMATE option is specified. If the elements of are not specified for an effect that contains a specified effect, then the elements of the specified effect are distributed over the levels of the higher-order effect just as the GLM procedure does for its CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements. Provided the reader has some background in survival analysis, these sections are not necessary to understand how to run survival analysis in SAS. Springer: New York. exposure(0=no exposure, 1= yes exposure) and outcome(0=no outcome, 1= yes outcome) variable are all binary. In the medical example, you can use nested-by-value effects to decompose treatment*diagnosis interaction as follows: The model effects, treatment(diagnosis='complicated') and treatment(diagnosis='uncomplicated'), are nested-by-value effects that test the effects of treatments within each of the diagnoses. To do so: It appears that being in the hospital increases the hazard rate, but this is probably due to the fact that all patients were in the hospital immediately after heart attack, when they presumbly are most vulnerable. As a consequence, you can test or estimate only homogeneous linear combinations (those with zero-intercept coefficients, such as contrasts that represent group differences) for the GLM parameterization.

However, one cannot test whether the stratifying variable itself affects the hazard rate significantly. C?1D!^$w"I&#I" NF[cPdn .c@hHa"3IX"P+ !Hp?
Two groups of rats received different pretreatment regimes and then were exposed to a carcinogen. To avoid this problem, use the DIVISOR= option. The likelihood displacement score quantifies how much the likelihood of the model, which is affected by all coefficients, changes when the observation is left out. SAS provides easy ways to examine the \(df\beta\) values for all observations across all coefficients in the model. As shown in Example 1, tests of simple effects within an interaction can be done using any of several statements other than the CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements. scatter x = bmi y=dfbmibmi / markerchar=id;
scatter x = hr y=dfhr / markerchar=id;
Any estimable linear combination of model parameters can be tested using the procedure's CONTRAST statement. 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)). 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 probability of surviving the next interval, from 2 days to just before 3 days during which another 8 people died, given that the subject has survived 2 days (the conditional probability) is \(\frac{492-8}{492} = 0.98374\). run; proc phreg data = whas500;
Ignore the nonproportionality if it appears the changes in the coefficient over time are very small or if it appears the outliers are driving the changes in the coefficient. The PHREG Procedure: Examples: PHREG Procedure. We simply use the SAS procedure PHREG to obtain the final result. You can specify a contrast of the LS-means themselves, rather than the model parameters, by using the LSMESTIMATE statement. Thus, for example the AGE term describes the effect of age when gender=0, or the age effect for males.
