Fitting a shared frailty illness-death model to left-truncated semi-competing risks data to examine the impact of education level on incident dementia

Table 1 Simulation results

One thousand data sets were generated under a model with Weibull baseline hazard functions described in “Simulation study” section with n=5,000 and were fit to models with Weibull and B-spline parameterized baseline hazard functions. Point estimates and analytical standard errors (SE _a) were averaged across estimates. Empirical standard errors (SE _e) correspond to the standard deviation of the parameter sampling distributions. Coverage was calculated as the proportion of estimated 95% Wald-based confidence intervals that contained the true parameter
