Flexible Additive Risk Models Using Piecewise Constant Hazard Functions
We study a weighted least squares (WLS) estimator for Aalen's additive risk model which allows for a very flexible handling of covariates. We divide the follow-up period into intervals and assume a constant hazard rate in each interval. The model is motivated as a piecewise approximation of a h...
