Evaluation of the regression parameter estimators in the proportional hazard model
Institute of Statistical Mathematics Tokyo, Japan
We investigate the methods developed for Cox's regression model with emphasis on the score test and the biases of the estimator. It can be shown that the Breslow-Peto approach gives the most conservative estimators of the regression parameters.
