The comparison of censored quantile regression methods in prognosis factors of breast cancer survival

Abstract The Cox proportional hazards model is a widely used statistical method for the censored data that model the hazard rate rather than survival time. To overcome complexity of interpreting hazard ratio, quantile regression was introduced for censored data with more straightforward interpretati...
