| Abstract | ||
| This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of procedures for the excess hazard model. A common issue with hazard models is estimating the overall hazard rather than the excess hazard, leading to inaccurate parameter estimates. The paper suggests applying various survival models, including the excess hazard model and the multilevel excess hazard model, to enhance the accuracy and reliability of the results. The primary objective of this study is to estimate the excess hazard for both models and conduct a comparative analysis between them. Two statistical criteria, Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), were utilized to evaluate model accuracy. All calculations were performed using the R software system, specifically R version 4.2.2. The multilevel excess hazard model demonstrated superior performance in terms of AIC and BIC compared to the excess hazard model. | ||
