Smoothing splinesNon‐parametric regressionPiecewise polynomialsWe describe the use of cubic splines in regression models to represent the relationship between the response variable and a vector of covariates.
Paul C Lambert Flexible parametric survival models 7th June 2024 6 Flexible parametric models: incorporating splines We thus model on the log cumulative hazard scale. ln[H(t|xi )] = ln [H0(t)] + xi β This is a proportional hazards model. Natural cubic splines, s (ln(t)|γ, k0), ...
The models are fitted on the log cumulative excess hazard scale using restricted cubic splines for the baseline. By the use of splines these models can more easily capture the shape of the underlying distribution. We illustrate the method using data on patients diagnosed with colon cancer in ...
models (FPMs) [Royston and Parmar, 2002] • Models and more accurately captures complex shapes of the (log-cumulative) baseline hazard function • A generalisation of the Weibull distribution is used with restricted cubic splines (RCS) that allows for more exibility Cause-specific log-...
We use the cyclic cubic regression spline basis to ensure continuity in the hazard from day 365 to day 1. The sum-to-zero constraints are applied to all smooth functions for identifiability. The three different models with hazard functions in (1) – (3) are referred to as models 1 to 3...

In the proposed modeling, it addresses non-linear relationships through cubic smoothing splines applications and tackles imbalanced categorical predictor variables, requiring the use of a random-effects regression model, incorporating a random intercept to account for variability across different groups and ...
The function that assigns different weights to treatments received at different times was modeled with cubic regression splines. The stabilized IPT weights for each person at each visit were calculated to account for the time-varying confounding and mediation. The weighted Cox MSM, using stabilized ...

the authors proceed by demonstrating that Cox models may instead be expressed as Poisson models by splitting the time scale at the observed failures. The Poisson-model expression allows for extension by changing how the time scale is split and by introducing restricted cubic splines and fractional ...
