Abstract:

In this poster session, we consider prior elicitation in the Weibull proportional hazards model. Expert opinion is elicited on median survival times with which clinicians are familiar. We find the induced prior structure and perform a Bayesian analysis. We compare this to the prior structure suggested by Christensen et al. which also uses elicited median survival times.
