Abstract:

In this paper, we consider fitting additive hazards models for case-cohort studies using a multiple imputation approach. In a case-cohort study, main exposure variables are measured only on some selected subjects but other covariates are often available for the whole cohort. This can be treated as a special case of a missing covariate problem. We propose to employ a popular incomplete data method, multiple imputation, for estimation of the regression parameters in additive hazards models. Finite sample properties of the proposed estimators are investigated via simulation studies and illustrated using a data example.
