Researchers have developed a new method for clustering survival data by analyzing the instantaneous risk, or hazard function, over time. This approach models smoothed log-hazard trajectories using Functional Principal Component Analysis, allowing for a more dynamic representation of risk evolution. The methodology was tested through simulations and applied to clinical datasets, demonstrating its ability to provide interpretable risk dynamics and robust diagnostics compared to traditional methods.
