Bayesian transformation model for spatial partly interval-censored data. (English) Zbl 07912625

Summary: The transformation model with partly interval-censored data offers a highly flexible modeling framework that can simultaneously support multiple common survival models and a wide variety of censored data types. However, the real data may contain unexplained heterogeneity that cannot be entirely explained by covariates and may be brought on by a variety of unmeasured regional characteristics. Due to this, we introduce the conditionally autoregressive prior into the transformation model with partly interval-censored data and take the spatial frailty into account. An efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo method is proposed to handle the posterior sampling and model inference. The approach is simple to use and does not include any challenging Metropolis steps owing to four-stage data augmentation. Through several simulations, the suggested method’s empirical performance is assessed and then the method is used in a leukemia study.
