Identifying change points in a covariate effect on time-to-event analysis with reduced isotonic regression.
Isotonic regression is a useful tool to investigate the relationship between a quantitative covariate and a time-to-event outcome. The resulting non-parametric model is a monotonic step function of a covariate X and the steps can be viewed as change points in the underlying hazard function. However,...
