Bayesian Cox Proportional Hazards — Bayesian Survival Regression

The Bayesian Cox proportional hazards model combines Cox's classical semiparametric survival regression with Bayesian inference, replacing point estimates and p-values with full posterior distributions over regression coefficients. It handles right-censored time-to-event outcomes, quantifies uncertainty about hazard ratios in probabilistic terms, and allows the incorporation of prior clinical or historical knowledge directly into the analysis.
