Check disparity in a Cox Proportional Hazard Model The coxph.disparity() function returns the disparity from the piecewise exponential model, includ-ing all the terms in the likelihood, and is directly comparable to the disparity for the fit of othermodels used in this chapter.
This form of the likelihood, allows the Cox proportional hazards model to be compared directly tofully parametric models. (Note that log-likelihood value stored in coxph.object is not comparableas it is based on the proportional hazards function and does not include the baseline hazard, thiscancels out in the conditional probabilities that form the partial likelihood.)

These data were published by Silvapulle, and come from a psychiatric study of the relation betweenpsychiatric diagnosis (as case or non-case) and the value of the score on a 12-item General HealthQuestionnaire (GHQ), for 120 patients attending a general practitioner’s surgery. Each patient wasadministered the GHQ, resulting in a score between 0 and 12, (however there were no cases or non-cases with GHQ scores of 11 or 12) and was subsequently given a full psychiatric examination by apsychiatrist who did not know the patient’s GHQ score. The patient was classified by the psychiatristas either a “case”, requiring psychiatric treatment, or a “non-case”.

A hostility scorefor each individual was calculated from these responses. After completing the questionnaire, thesubjects were then left waiting for a long time, and were subjected to insults and verbal abuse by theexperimenter when the questionnaire was eventually collected. All subjects were told that they hadfilled out the questionnaire incorrectly, and were instructed to fill it out again. A second hostilityscore was then calculated from these later responses.

a model object list with argument y and method fitted A sample of twenty-four children was randomly drawn from the population of fifth-grade childrenattending a state primary school in a Sydney suburb. Each child was assigned to one of two experi-mental groups, and given instructions by the experimenter on how to construct, from nine differentlycoloured blocks, one of the 3X3 square designs in the Block Design subtest of the Wechsler Intel-ligence Scale for Children (WISC). Children in the first group were told to construct the design bystarting with a row of three blocks (row group), and those in the second group were told to startwith a corner of three blocks (corner group). The total time in seconds to construct four differentdesigns was then measured for each child.
Before the experiment began, the extent of each child’s “field dependence” was tested by the Em-bedded Figures Test (EFT), which measures the extent to which subjects can abstract the essentiallogical structure of a problem from its context (high scores corresponding to high field dependenceand low ability).

The STATLAB Census covers 1296 member families of the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (a pre-paid medical care program) living in the San Francisco Bay Area during the years 1961 - 1972.
These families were participating members of the Child Health and Development Study conceivedand directed by Jacob Yerushalmy, for many years Professor of Biostatistics in the School of PublicHealth, University of California, Berkeley.
On her first visit to the Oakland hospital of the Health Plan after pregnancy was diagnosed, eachwoman was interviewed intensively on a wide range of medical and socioeconomic matters relatingboth to herself and to her husband. In addition, various physical and physiological measures weremade. When her child was born, further data about her and her newborn baby were recorded.
Approximately 10 years later the child and mother were called in for follow-up testing, interviewing,and measurement. In some instances, the husband was also interviewed and measured.
The 1296 families of the STATLAB Census are divided into two equal subpopulations: 648 familiesconsisting of a mother, father, and female child; and 648 families of a mother, father, and male child.
The children were all born in the Kaiser Foundation Hospital, Oakland, California, between 1 April1961 and 15 April 1963. The Census does not cover any other children who may also have existedin these families.

University of North Carolina Vietnam War Student Survey A survey of student opinion on the Vietnam War was taken at the University of North Carolina inChapel Hill in May 1967 and published in the student newspaper. Students were asked to fill in“ballot papers”, available in the Student Council building, stating which policy out of A, B, C orD they supported.
