Figure 1

Plot of Weibull and Log-logisitc hazard functions. (a): Conditional hazard functions of the Weibull model and Log-logisitic model based on estimated parameter values for the intervention arm (I) and control arm (C). The Weibull hazard function is a monotonically decreasing function, whereas the log-logistic hazard funtion is a unimodal function that may better describe the natural history of HPV. (b): Conditional hazard ratio between the intervention and control arms from the two models. The Weibull model imposes a constant ratio, whereas the log-logistic model allows the clearance rate ratio to change over time.
