Abstract

The aim of this work is to propose a proportional log survival model (PLSM) as a discrete alternative to the proportional hazards (PH) model. This paper presents the formulation of PLSM as well as the procedures for verifying its assumption. The parameters of the PLSM are inferred using the maximum likelihood method, and a simulation study was carried out to investigate the usual asymptotic properties of the estimators. The PLSM was illustrated using data on the survival time of leukemia patients, and it was shown to be a viable alternative for modeling discrete survival data in the presence of covariates.
