Hi all,

I am trying to fit a survival analysis to determine effect of two factors on survival, factors have 3 and 5 levels respectively. N is 1050 and experiment is balanced. I have used "survival" package for analyses.

I have problems in select the best survival model for my data, I fit several parametric models (weibull, expontential, gaussian, lognormal, loglogistic, logistic) and a Cox model. Model selection was made by AICc being Cox model the best option by this criteria, but I am not sure that AIC is valid to compare parametric and non-parametric survival models. Moreover, my data violates the proportional hazards assumption of Cox models.

For all of this, I don't know what model select.

Thanks in advanced

Diego Salazar
