Abstract:

Statistical analysis of microarray gene expression data has recently attracted a great deal of attention. One problem of interest is to relate genes to survival outcomes of patients with the purpose of building regression models for the prediction of future patients' survival based on their gene expression data. This talk will discuss issues that occur in fitting these data to the commonly used survival models including the proportional hazards or Cox model. Several models and their corresponding inference approaches will be considered.
