Table 1 Specification of models used to estimate the loss of lifetime function
From: Estimating the loss of lifetime function using flexible parametric relative survival models
Model | Model | Nr. knots | Knot locations |
|---|---|---|---|
A | NRS | 6 | 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% quantiles of the uncensored event times. |
B | ARS | 7 | 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% quantiles of the uncensored event times with an additional knot placed at 10 years. |
C | ARS | 7 | 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% quantiles of the uncensored event times. The last knot is placed at 80 years and an additional knot is placed at 10 years. |
D | FMC | 5 | 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% quantiles of the uncensored event times. |
E | FMC | 5 | First uncensored event time, 0.5, 1, 2, and 5 years. |
