dc.description.abstractThe objective of this study was to compare the performances of Cox regression analysis (CRA) and random survival forests (RSF) methods with simulation and a real data set related to breast cancer. In the simulations, we compared across the methods under varying sample sizes by using Monte Carlo simulation method. The results showed that the performance of the CRA was a slightly better for analysis based on Harrell's concordance index than RSF approaches based on log-rank, conservation of events, log-rank score and approximate log-rank splitting rules. In the real data application, a retrospective analysis was performed in 279 breast cancer patients diagnosed. According to Harrell's concordance index, RSF based on approximate log-rank splitting rule to determined major risk factors for disease-free survival (DFS) showed a slightly better performance than other approaches. In general, performances of all the methods were almost similar. The predictive capability of CRA can be used for different sample sizes and potential future suitable survival data problems, whereas RSF provide interpretive results. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
