Details

Displays a summary of the bdpsurvival fit. The output is different, conditional on a one- or two-arm survival analysis.

In the case of a one-arm analysis, the stochastic comparison between current and historical data and the resulting historical data weight (alpha) are displayed, followed by a survival table containing augmented posterior estimates of the survival probability at each time point for the current data.

When a control arm is present, a two-arm analysis is carried out. A two-arm survival analysis is similar to a cox proportional hazards analysis, and the displayed summary reflects this. First, the stochastic comparison between current and historical data and the resulting historical data weight (alpha) are displayed, when historical data is present for the respective arm. The displayed coef value is the log-hazard between the augmented treatment and control arms (log(treatment) - log(control)). The lower and upper 95 percent interval limits correspond to the coef value.
