The Cox regression model is a popular model for analyzing the relationship between a covariate vector and a survival endpoint. The standard Cox model assumes a constant covariate effect across the entire covariate domain. However, in many epidemiological and other applications, the covariate of main interest is subject to a threshold effect: a change in the slope at a certain point within the covariate domain. Often, the covariate of interest is subject to some degree of measurement error. In this paper, we study measurement error correction in the case where the threshold is known. Several bias correction methods are examined: two versions of regression calibration (RC1 and RC2, the latter of which is new), two methods based on the induced relative risk under a rare event assumption (RR1 and RR2, the latter of which is new), a maximum pseudo-partial likelihood estimator (MPPLE), and simulation-extrapolation (SIMEX). We develop the theory, present simulations comparing the methods, and illustrate their use on data concerning the relationship between chronic air pollution exposure to particulate matter PM10 and fatal myocardial infarction (Nurses Health Study (NHS)), and on data concerning the effect of a subject's long-term underlying systolic blood pressure level on the risk of cardiovascular disease death (Framingham Heart Study (FHS)). The simulations indicate that the best methods are RR2 and MPPLE. 相似文献

Replication Protein A (RPA) is a critical complex that acts in replication and promotes homologous recombination by allowing recombinase recruitment to processed DSB ends. Most organisms possess three RPA subunits (RPA1, RPA2, RPA3) that form a trimeric complex critical for viability. The Caenorhabditis elegans genome encodes RPA-1, RPA-2 and an RPA-2 paralog RPA-4. In our analysis, we determined that RPA-2 is critical for germline replication and normal repair of meiotic DSBs. Interestingly, RPA-1 but not RPA-2 is essential for somatic replication, in contrast to other organisms that require both subunits. Six different hetero- and homodimeric complexes containing permutations of RPA-1, RPA-2 and RPA-4 can be detected in whole animal extracts. Our in vivo studies indicate that RPA-1/4 dimer is less abundant in the nucleus and its formation is inhibited by RPA-2. While RPA-4 does not participate in replication or recombination, we find that RPA-4 inhibits RAD-51 filament formation and promotes apoptosis of a subset of damaged nuclei. Altogether these findings point to sub-functionalization and antagonistic roles of RPA complexes in C. elegans. 相似文献
