<p>Joint models for longitudinal and survival data have been widely discussed in the literature. This thesis proposes a joint model using a stereotype model for the longitudinal ordinal responses and a Cox proportional hazards model for survival time. Our current joint model has a new feature since no literature has examined the joint model under the stereotype model. The stereotype model can improve the fit by adding extra score parameters, but it still has the advantage of requiring only a single parameter to describe the effect of a predictor on the item response levels. We give an example to model longitudinal ordinal data and survival data for patients being followed up after treatments. The main focus is on modeling both the quality of life data and the survival data simultaneously with a goal of understanding the association between the two processes over time. These two models are linked through a latent variable that characterizes the quality of life of an individual and is assumed to underlie the hazard rate. In other words, the latent variable serves as a shared variable in the joint model. We present the joint model in two different aspects: one based on a Bayesian approach and the other one a semiparametric approach using the EM algorithm. For the Bayesian approach, the latent variable is treated as a continuous variable and is assumed to have a multivariate normal distribution. The partial survival likelihood function is used in the survival component of the Bayesian joint model, while the full likelihood function is considered in the semiparametric joint model. In the latter approach the baseline hazard is assumed to be a step function and has no parametric form. The latent variable in the semiparametric joint model is then treated as a discrete variable. We illustrate our methodologies by analyzing data from the Staccato study, a randomized trial to compare two treatment methods, for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection of Thai patients on Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART), in which the quality of life was assessed with a HIV Medical Outcome Study (MOS-HIV) questionnaire. Furthermore, we extend the study further to the case of multiple failure types in the survival component. Thus, the extension of the joint model consists of the stereotype model and the competing risks model. The Bayesian method is employed to estimate all unknown parameters in this extended joint model. The results we obtained are consistent for both the Bayesian joint model and the semiparametric joint model. Both models show that patients who had a better quality of life were associated with a lower hazard of HIV progression. Patients on continuous treatment also had a lower hazard of HIV progression compared with patients on CD4-guided interruption treatment.</p>
