Abstract: The varying coefficient model has been extensively studied over the past 20 years since it was first proposed. This gives an easy interpretation due to its direct connectivity to the classical linear model and is very flexible since nonparametric functions which accommodate various nonlinear interaction effects between covariates are admitted in the model. The model has been extended to various situations. In this talk, the model will be introduced specifically in the context of survival data analysis, and some research findings will be presented.
