PG - 379-85 LID - 10.1016/j.ygeno.2011.02.003 [doi] AB - As the two most popular models in survival analysis, the accelerated failure time (AFT) model can more easily fit survival data than the Cox proportional hazards model (PHM). In this study, we develop a general parametric AFT model for identifying survival trait loci, in which the flexible generalized F distribution, including many commonly used distributions as special cases, is specified as the baseline survival distribution. EM algorithm for maximum likelihood estimation of model parameters is given. Simulations are conducted to validate the flexibility and the utility of the proposed mapping procedure. In analyzing survival time following hyperoxic acute lung injury (HALI) of mice in an F(2) mating population, the generalized F distribution performed best among the six competing survival distributions and detected four QTLs controlling differential HALI survival.
