In addition to allowing time-varying covariates (i.e., predictors), the Cox model may be generalized to time-varying coefficients as well. That is, the proportional effect of a treatment may vary with time; e.g. a drug may be very effective if administered within one month of morbidity , and become less effective as time goes on.
The regression parameters are assumed to be the same across the strata, but a different baseline hazard may exist for each stratum. Stratification is useful for analyses using matched subjects, for dealing with patient subsets, such as different clinics, and for dealing with violations of the proportional hazard assumption. Time-varying covariates.
A time-varying covariate (also called time-dependent covariate) is a term used in statistics, particularly in survival analysis. [1] It reflects the phenomenon that a covariate is not necessarily constant through the whole study Time-varying covariates are included to represent time-dependent within-individual variation to predict individual responses.

Lin also conducted groundbreaking research in semiparametric additive risks models and accelerated failure time models. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] Over the last two decades, Lin has made major theoretical and computational advances in nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation of transformation models, random-effects models, and interval-censored data.
In full generality, the accelerated failure time model can be specified as [2] (|) = ()where denotes the joint effect of covariates, typically = ([+ +]). (Specifying the regression coefficients with a negative sign implies that high values of the covariates increase the survival time, but this is merely a sign convention; without a negative sign, they increase the hazard.)
Eating too fast, talking while you’re chowing down, not chewing enough or munching on dry foods might cause difficulty swallowing from time to time, doctors say.
Extensions of the Cox proportional hazard models are popular models in social sciences and medical science to assess associations between variables and risk of recurrence, or to predict recurrent event outcomes. Many extensions of survival models based on the Cox proportional hazards approach have been proposed to handle recurrent event data.
