Abstract

In some applications, the clustered survival data are arranged spatially such as clinical centers or geographical regions. Incorporating spatial variation in these data not only can improve the accuracy and efficiency of the parameter estimation, but it also investigates the spatial patterns of survivorship for identifying high-risk areas. Competing risks in survival data concern a situation where there is more than one cause of failure, but only the occurrence of the first one is observable. In this paper, we considered Bayesian subdistribution hazard regression models with spatial random effects for the clustered HIV/AIDS data. An intrinsic conditional autoregressive (ICAR) distribution was employed to model the areal spatial random effects. Comparison among competing models was performed by the deviance information criterion. We illustrated the gains of our model through application to the HIV/AIDS data and the simulation studies.
