I have a collegue who is insisting that we implement Lin's regression (Biostatistics (2000), 1, 1, pp. 35–47) for modeling costs with censored data.  I've not heard of this before, nor have I been able to find applications that actually have coded this.  Anyone been able to get this to work in SAS?  It should be similar to PHREG I would think....

Thanks for your help!

I'm not familiar with it, but it may be amongst the macros provided at:

Also, a macro for obtaining Lin's correlation coefficient is provided in the mccc macro at:

Art,

Wrong Lin.  Sue is referring to DY Lin (not X Lin).  I missed it too the first time.

Here is the paper

http://www.bios.unc.edu/~lin/publications/2000/Lin00a.pdf

and a nice summary

Lin's Regression is parametric, so I is probably not a variation on PHREG.  However, I have not found any SAS software for it.  There are several follow-on articles as well.  You may want to contact DY directly, though my guess is that his software will be in R.

Thanks.  I hadn't seen anything on how to do it in SAS either but wasn't sure if anyone else had any experience using it.  R would be fine (since it's open source) so I'll contact him directly and see what else I can gather.  I have to admit tho, it doesn't leave me with a "warm-fuzzy" feeling when I can't find anything on how to program the method.  Almost makes me hesitant to use it at all...but alas, that's not necessarily my call to make.

Thanks for the info!

What is ANOVA?

ANOVA, or Analysis Of Variance, is used to compare the averages or means of two or more populations to better understand how they differ. Watch this tutorial for more.
