Question 1
In the Kaplan-Meier (product-limit) estimator of the survival function S(t), what role does a censored observation play at the moment of censoring?
Correct Answer:
It reduces the risk set for subsequent event times but does not itself cause a drop in the survival estimate
Question 2
A study follows 10 lives. Deaths occur at t=2 (1 death) and t=5 (1 death), with one life censored at t=3. Using Kaplan-Meier, what is the estimated survival probability S(5)?
Correct Answer:
0.7875
Question 3
The Nelson-Aalen estimator estimates which quantity directly?
Correct Answer:
The cumulative hazard function H(t)
Question 4
In the Cox proportional hazards model, the hazard is written lambda(t; z) = lambda_0(t) exp(beta^T z). What does the term lambda_0(t) represent?
Correct Answer:
The baseline hazard, common to all individuals when all covariates are zero
Question 5
A key advantage of the Cox proportional hazards model over fully parametric survival models is that it:
Correct Answer:
Estimates the regression coefficients without specifying the form of the baseline hazard
