The proportional hazards model, often referred to as Cox proportional hazards model, is a type of regression model commonly used in survival analysis. It is primarily designed to examine the effect of various predictors or covariates on the time it takes for a particular event to occur, such as death, failure, or any other time-to-event outcome.
