Hi. i'm using 'proc phreg' to perform time-dependent survival analysis.

 

I'm trying to get harrell's c index, using 'concordance' option. like this.

 

proc phreg data=test concordance plots=roc;

class variable1(ref='1') variable2(ref='1') variable3(ref='1')

model (start, stop)*censored(0) =  variable1 variable2 variable3/TIES=

EFRON RL;

RUN;

 

However,  'Neither concordance nor ROC analysis is performed with the START/STOP specification' appears in log screen.

 

Results of survival analysis came out normally, but 'harrell's c index' didn't came out.

Hi @km0927,

 

It seems that there are limitations in PROC PHREG regarding ROC analyses (and hence the c statistic) under certain circumstances, including time-dependent analyses (of some sort): see this thread:

and perhaps this unanswered question: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Statistical-Procedures/How-to-create-ROC-curves-using-PROC-PHREG/....

thanks. maybe SAS doesn't support 'Harrell's c index concordance option' in time-dependent survival analysis....

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.
