AU - Hwang, Wei-Ting PY - 2019 DA - 2019/05/22 TI - Understanding the predictive value of continuous markers for censored survival data using a likelihood ratio approach JO - BMC Medical Research Methodology SP - 108 VL - 19 IS - 1 AB - The likelihood ratio function (LR), the ratio of conditional probabilities of obtaining a specific marker value among those with the event of interest over those without, provides an easily interpretable way to quantify the update of the risk prediction due to the knowledge of the marker value. The LR has been explored for both binary and continuous markers for binary events (e.g., diseased or not), however the use of the LR in censored data has not been fully explored.
