Random effects Cox models: A Poisson modelling approach

Abstract: We propose a Poisson modelling approach to nested random effects Cox proportional hazards models. An important feature of this approach is that the principal results depend only on the first and second moments of the unobserved random effects. The orthodox best linear unbiased predictor approach to random effects Poisson modelling techniques enables us to justify appropriate consistency and optimality. The explicit expressions for the random effects given by our approach facilitate incorporation of a relatively large number of random effects. The use of the proposed methods is illustrated through the reanalysis of data from a large-scale cohort study of particulate air pollution and mortality previously reported by Pope et al. (1995).
