The t statistic value is the square root of the F statistic from the CONTRAST statement producing an equivalent test. The SLICE and LSMEANS statements cannot be used for this more complex contrast. Within SAS, proc univariate provides easy, quick looks into the distributions of each variable, whereas proc corr can be used to examine bivariate relationships. Because PROC CATMOD also uses effects coding, you can use the following CONTRAST statement in that procedure to get the same results as above. It is similar to the CONTRAST statement in PROC GLM and PROC CATMOD, depending on the coding schemes used with any categorical variables involved. Can i add class statement to want to see hazard ratios on exposure proc phreg data=episode; /*class exposure*/ The EXP option exponentiates each difference providing odds ratio estimates for each pair. run; proc phreg data = whas500; I am about to use cox-regression to estimate the interaction between two binary variables: Disease (1,0) and Drug (1,0). 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. 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. So what is the probability of observing subject \(i\) fail at time \(t_j\)? model lenfol*fstat(0) = gender age;; The significant AGE*GENDER interaction term suggests that the effect of age is different by gender. The value must be between 0 and 1. Maximum likelihood methods attempt to find the \(\beta\) values that maximize this likelihood, that is, the regression parameters that yield the maximum joint probability of observing the set of failure times with the associated set of covariate values. In SAS, we can graph an estimate of the cdf using proc univariate. An estimate statement corresponds to an L-matrix, which corresponds to a For example, the hazard rate when time \(t\) when \(x = x_1\) would then be \(h(t|x_1) = h_0(t)exp(x_1\beta_x)\), and at time \(t\) when \(x = x_2\) would be \(h(t|x_2) = h_0(t)exp(x_2\beta_x)\). It contains numerous examples in SAS and R. Grambsch, PM, Therneau, TM. (Js")*sv1t1} #Hqk*"lf,Rv$"TAlM@e (braP)NP r*$O2H3;0dFik-T'G2\QSDRT2H)!I+M) None of the graphs look particularly alarming (click here to see an alarming graph in the SAS example on assess). Specifically, you need to construct the linear combination of model parameters that corresponds to the hypothesis. The LSMESTIMATE statement can also be used. For such studies, a semi-parametric model, in which we estimate regression parameters as covariate effects but ignore (leave unspecified) the dependence on time, is appropriate. class gender; scatter x = age y=dfage / markerchar=id; Estimating and Testing a Difference of Means SAS expects individual names for each \(df\beta_j\)associated with a coefficient. This indicates that our choice of modeling a linear and quadratic effect of bmi was a reasonable one. Words in italic are new statements added to SAS version 9.22. However, it can happen (and it did in your example) that the CLASS statement uses level '1' of that explanatory variable as the reference level so that the sign of the corresponding parameter estimate changes and the inverse hazard ratio and confidence limits are computed,here: the hazard ratio of "no exposure" vs. An ESTIMATE statement for the AB11 cell mean can be written as above by rewriting the cell mean in terms of the model yielding the appropriate linear combination of parameter estimates. 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. Though assisting with the translation of a stated hypothesis into the needed linear combination is beyond the scope of the services that are provided by Technical Support at SAS, we hope that the following discussion and examples will help you. ANOVA, or Analysis Of Variance, is used to compare the averages or means of two or more populations to better understand how they differ. However they lived much longer than expected when considering their bmi scores and age (95 and 87), which attenuates the effects of very low bmi. Using the equations, \(h(t)=\frac{f(t)}{S(t)}\) and \(f(t)=-\frac{dS}{dt}\), we can derive the following relationships between the cumulative hazard function and the other survival functions: \[S(t) = exp(-H(t))\] So, this test can be used with models that are fit by many procedures such as GENMOD, LOGISTIC, MIXED, GLIMMIX, PHREG, PROBIT, and others, but there are cases with some of these procedures in which a LR test cannot be constructed: Nonnested models can still be compared using information criteria such as AIC, AICC, and BIC (also called SC). You can use the DIFF option in the LSMEANS statement. In PROC LOGISTIC, the ESTIMATE=BOTH option in the CONTRAST statement requests estimates of both the contrast (difference in log odds or log odds ratio) and the exponentiated contrast (odds ratio). 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. These are indeed censored observations, further indicated by the * appearing in the unlabeled second column. format gender gender. The log-rank and Wilcoxon tests in the output table differ in the weights \(w_j\) used. The CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements allow for estimation and testing of any linear combination of model parameters. Note that the CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements are the most flexible allowing for any linear combination of model parameters. variable for ses =2. This analysis proceeds in much the same was as dfbeta analysis, in that we will: We see the same 2 outliers we identifed before, id=89 and id=112, as having the largest influence on the model overall, probably primarily through their effects on the bmi coefficient. Notice that the parameter estimate for treatment A within complicated diagnosis is the same as the estimated contrast and the exponentiated parameter estimate is the same as the exponentiated contrast. Any estimable linear combination of model parameters can be tested using the procedure's CONTRAST statement. For this seminar, it is enough to know that the martingale residual can be interpreted as a measure of excess observed events, or the difference between the observed number of events and the expected number of events under the model: \[martingale~ residual = excess~ observed~ events = observed~ events (expected~ events|model)\]. Parameters corresponding to missing level combinations are not included in the model. This is an extension of the nested effects that you can specify in other procedures such as GLM and LOGISTIC. data example8_1; set sec1_5; group1 = group - 1; run; proc phreg data = example8_1; model time*death (0)=group1; run; The same procedure could be repeated to check all covariates. \[F(t) = 1 exp(-H(t))\] 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 \(df\beta_j\). Notice in the Analysis of Maximum Likelihood Estimates table above that the Hazard Ratio entries for terms involved in interactions are left empty. The estimated hazard ratio of .937 comparing females to males is not significant. All produce equivalent results. 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. SAS computes differences in the Nelson-Aalen estimate of \(H(t)\). 2009 by SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA. The parameter for ses1 is the difference The PHREG Procedure Example 91.12 demonstrated that the log transform is a much improved functional form for Bilirubin in a Cox regression model. The first 12 examples use the classical method of maximum likelihood, while the last two examples illustrate the Bayesian methodology. The PLMAXITER= option has no effect if profile-likelihood confidence intervals (CL=PL) are not requested. 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. assess var=(age bmi hr) / resample; This can be particularly difficult with dummy (PARAM=GLM) coding. From these equations we can see that the cumulative hazard function \(H(t)\) and the survival function \(S(t)\) have a simple monotonic relationship, such that when the Survival function is at its maximum at the beginning of analysis time, the cumulative hazard function is at its minimum. The change in coding scheme does not affect how you specify the ODDSRATIO statement. By default, pis equal to the value of the ALPHA= option in the PROC PHREG statement, or 0.05 if that option is not specified. "exposure.". 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 \(\frac{355-1}{355}=0.9972\). Only as many residuals are output as names are supplied on the, We should check for non-linear relationships with time, so we include a, As before with checking functional forms, we list all the variables for which we would like to assess the proportional hazards assumption after the. 557-72. The statements below generate observations from such a model: The following statements fit the main effects and interaction model. requests that, for each Newton-Raphson iteration, PROC PHREG recompiles the risk sets corresponding to the event times for the (start,stop) style of response and recomputes the values of the time-dependent variables defined by the programming statements for each observation in the risk sets. The EXP option provides the odds ratio estimate by exponentiating the difference. The ODDSRATIO statement in PROC LOGISTIC and the similar HAZARDRATIO statement in PROC PHREG are also available. run; proc corr data = whas500 plots(maxpoints=none)=matrix(histogram); While the main purpose of this note is to illustrate how to write proper CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements, these additional statements are also presented when they can provide equivalent analyses. following, where ses1 is the dummy variable for ses =1 and ses2 is the dummy With this simple model, we The statements below fit the model, estimate each part of the hypothesis, and estimate and test the hypothesis. Survival analysis often begins with examination of the overall survival experience through non-parametric methods, such as Kaplan-Meier (product-limit) and life-table estimators of the survival function. This section contains 14 examples of PROC PHREG applications. 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. since it is the comparison group. Lin, DY, Wei, LJ, Ying, Z. i am wondering either i add "CLASS" statement ornot. class gender; In other words, if all strata have the same survival function, then we expect the same proportion to die in each interval. However, despite our knowledge that bmi is correlated with age, this method provides good insight into bmis functional form. By default, PLMAXITER=25. The regression equation is the If proportional hazards holds, the graphs of the survival function should look parallel, in the sense that they should have basically the same shape, should not cross, and should start close and then diverge slowly through follow up time. model lenfol*fstat(0) = gender age;; 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. Thus, it might be easier to think of \(df\beta_j\) as the effect of including observation \(j\) on the the coefficient. To assess the effects of continuous variables involved in interactions or constructed effects such as splines, see this note. proc phreg data=event; The next section illustrates using the CONTRAST statement to compare nested models. See the example titled "Comparing nested models with a likelihood ratio test" which illustrates using the %VUONG macro to produce the same test as obtained above from the CONTRAST statement in PROC GENMOD. To get the expected mean These two observations, id=89 and id=112, have very low but not unreasonable bmi scores, 15.9 and 14.8. proc loess data = residuals plots=ResidualsBySmooth(smooth); PROC PHREG displays the point estimate, its standard error, a Wald confidence interval, and a Wald chi-square test for each contrast. The HAZARDRATIO statement enables you to request hazard ratios for any variable in the model at customized settings. Table 86.1: PROC PHREG Statement Options You can specify the following options in the PROC PHREG statement. specifies the alpha level of the interval estimates for the hazard ratios. Partial Likelihood The partial likelihood function for one covariate is: where t i is the ith death time, x i is the associated covariate, and R i is the risk set at time t i, i.e., the set of subjects is still alive and uncensored just prior to time t i. This convention can affect the way in which you specify the matrix in your CONTRAST statement. There is no limit to the number of CONTRAST statements that you can specify, but they must appear after the MODEL statement. The default is UNITS=1. The log odds for treatment A in the complicated diagnosis are: The log odds for treatment C in the complicated diagnosis are: Subtracting these gives the difference in log odds, or equivalently, the log odds ratio: The following statements use PROC LOGISTIC to fit model 3c and estimate the contrast. This can be easily accomplished in. The rows of are specified in order and are separated by commas. The value number must be between 0 and 1; the default value is 0.05, which results in 95% intervals. However, in many settings, we are much less interested in modeling the hazard rates relationship with time and are more interested in its dependence on other variables, such as experimental treatment or age. We could test for different age effects with an interaction term between gender and age. We see that the uncoditional probability of surviving beyond 382 days is .7220, since \(\hat S(382)=0.7220=p(surviving~ up~ to~ 382~ days)\times0.9971831\), we can solve for \(p(surviving~ up~ to~ 382~ days)=\frac{0.7220}{0.9972}=.7240\). Thus, each term in the product is the conditional probability of survival beyond time \(t_i\), meaning the probability of surviving beyond time \(t_i\), given the subject has survived up to time \(t_i\). 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 note focuses on assessing the effects of categorical (CLASS) variables in models containing interactions. The dfbeta measure, \(df\beta\), quantifies how much an observation influences the regression coefficients in the model. Another common mistake that may result in inverse hazard ratios is to omit the CLASS statement in the PHREG procedure altogether. We cannot tell whether this age effect for females is significantly different from 0 just yet (see below), but we do know that it is significantly different from the age effect for males. 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. In logistic models, the response distribution is binomial and the log odds (or logit of the binomial mean, p) is the response function that you model: For more information about logistic models, see these references. Copyright Examples: PHREG Procedure References The PLAN Procedure The PLS Procedure The POWER Procedure The Power and Sample Size Application The PRINCOMP Procedure The PRINQUAL Procedure The PROBIT Procedure The QUANTREG Procedure The REG Procedure The ROBUSTREG Procedure The RSREG Procedure The SCORE Procedure The SEQDESIGN Procedure The SEQTEST Procedure In this model, this reference curve is for males at age 69.845947 Usually, we are interested in comparing survival functions between groups, so we will need to provide SAS with some additional instructions to get these graphs. In the output we find three Chi-square based tests of the equality of the survival function over strata, which support our suspicion that survival differs between genders. The -2Log(LR) likelihood ratio test is a parametric test assuming exponentially distributed survival times and will not be further discussed in this nonparametric section. Institute for Digital Research and Education. 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. The ESTIMATE statement provides a mechanism for obtaining custom hypothesis tests. class gender; So the log odds is: The following PROC LOGISTIC statements fit the effects-coded model and estimate the contrast: The same log odds ratio and odds ratio estimates are obtained as from the dummy-coded model. The procedure Lin, Wei, and Zing(1990) developed that we previously introduced to explore covariate functional forms can also detect violations of proportional hazards by using a transform of the martingale residuals known as the empirical score process. It is not at all necessary that the hazard function stay constant for the above interpretation of the cumulative hazard function to hold, but for illustrative purposes it is easier to calculate the expected number of failures since integration is not needed. For example, if the model contains the interaction of a CLASS variable A and a continuous variable X, the following specification displays a table of hazard ratios comparing the hazards of each pair of levels of A at X=3: The HAZARDRATIO statement identifies the variable whose hazard ratios are to be evaluated. We previously saw that the gender effect was modest, and it appears that for ages 40 and up, which are the ages of patients in our dataset, the hazard rates do not differ by gender. 515-526. The difficulty is constructing combinations that are estimable and that jointly test the set of interactions. All of the statements mentioned above can be used for this purpose. If variable exposure is not formatted: If variable exposure is formatted and the formatted value of exposure=0 is 'no': Or, to avoid hardcoding of formatted values: (Among the internal values of exposure, 0 and 1, 0 is the first, regardless of formats. 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. If our Cox model is correctly specified, these cumulative martingale sums should randomly fluctuate around 0. Suppose that you suspect that the survival function is not the same among some of the groups in your study (some groups tend to fail more quickly than others). 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.
