Figure 1

Schematic forms of the various extended time-to-event Cox regression models. Each arrow represents a stratum. Arrow diagrams describe about the behavior of ID = 1 in the sample data (DATA = MS) in Appendix (Additional file 1), who experiences the first event at day 51, second event at day 185, third event at day 413 and finally have censored at day 692. (A) "Time-to-first-event Cox model" only uses the information of the time to first event (the day 51). (B) "AG model" shows the renewal process of the events. (C) "PWP model" shows how the conditional models are constructed. (D) "WLW model" and "LWA model" model the marginal distribution of each event occurrence time.
