To use or not to use? Backward equations in stochastic carcinogenesis models.

Biometrics - 1 Mar 1998

Zheng Q

Abstract excerpt

The method based on the Kolmogorov backward equations of Little (1995, Biometrics 51, 1278-1291) for computing hazard functions for the multistage carcinogenesis models fails when model parameters are time-dependent. In addition to suggesting an alternative method based on the Kolmogorov forward equation, this note highlights the interplay of the forward equation, the backward equation, and the characteristic...
