A class of flexible parametric survival models using restricted cubic splines to represent a transformed survival or hazard function while remaining fully parametric.

A residual specific to the Cox model, calculated at each event time, used to test whether the proportional hazards assumption holds.
Survival analysis examines the time from a defined origin to an event such as death, disease progression, hospitalisation, recovery or treatment discontinuation.
A function giving the probability that a person survives without the event of interest beyond a specified point in time.
A hazard rate that changes in magnitude over follow-up, unlike a constant hazard that stays the same at every point.
A survival model based on the Weibull distribution, representing an increasing or decreasing hazard over time, though restricted to a monotonic pattern.
