The attractiveness of an additive hazard model: an example from medical demography

O Kravdal. Eur J Popul. 1997 Mar.

Abstract

PIP: "With the intention of studying sociodemographic differentials in the elevated mortality from cancer, a mixed additive-multiplicative continuous-time hazard model with categorical covariates is suggested. This model is a simple and plausible extension of the multiplicative hazard model demographers are well acquainted with. As an empirical example, survival from prostate cancer among Norwegian men is examined on the basis of individual register and census data. The model has some advantages compared to the models based on an additive mortality structure that have previously been used in studies of cancer survival. In other demographic research areas, it could be an interesting alternative to the commonly employed multiplicative hazard model." (EXCERPT)
