Figure 6

Outcome variable “distant metastases or death”, approach J: Plot oflog (c(t-d)) for model J.II, J.III.2 ( cf. Table 1) and the FP approach (J.FP). The estimates for model J.II and J.III.2 are given. The AIC of the J.FP model is 11757.02 and 11915.52 for model J.I. The coefficient of exp (-(t - d)), i.e. β ̂ 2 , is not significantly (α-level 0.05) different from zero in model J.III.2. With respect to the AIC, J.FP is the best model.
