Abstract:In Bayesian semi-parametric analyses of time-to-event data, non-parametric process priors are adopted for the baseline hazard function or the cumulative baseline hazard function for a given finite partition of the time axis. However, it would be controversial to suggest a general guideline to construct an optimal time partition. While a great deal of research has been done to relax the assumption of the fixed split times for other non-parametric processes, to our knowledge, no methods have been developed for a… Show more
