Optimising statistical methodologies for estimating antimalarial efficacy for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria by Dahal, P

“…Kaplan-Meier (K-M) approach, the currently recommended method, overestimated treatment failure by up to 3.6% compared to a competing risk survival analysis approach. Simulation studies demonstrated that the magnitude of this overestimation increased with declining drug efficacy in high transmission areas, where a substantial fraction of patients develop new infections. …”

Estimation by polynomial splines with variable selection in additive Cox models by Zhang, Shangli, Wang, Lichun, Lian, Heng

“…In this article, we consider penalized variable selection in additive Cox models based on (group) smoothly clipped absolute deviation penalty and hence widen the scope of applicability of penalized variable selection to semiparametric models for censored data.We demonstrate the asymptotic consistency in model selection and convergence rate in estimation. Our simulation study emphasizes comparison of several different criteria for tuning parameter selection and also compares two appropriate definitions of the degrees of freedom in additive models.…”
