The CD4 lymphocytes is an important indicator of diagnosis of AIDS, this paper mainly studied of AIDS, and investigates the association between the percentage of CD4 and the survival time, and explores the efficacy of HAART to AIDS patients. The patients repeated measurements the percentile of CD4 at different times as an interesting longitudinal data. The traditional approach have been employs the partial likelihood method to analyze the above data, but the partial likelihood method has to recognize the covariate history for each subject, and satisfy the requirements that the measurement error can not exist and the number of measurements should be enough for each subject. However, in the clinical trial, the individual differences, measurement error, and the other factors have usually result in bias. Therefore, we use the jointing model, fitting the survival time and longitudinal data simultaneously, to solve this problem. Here we focus on the generalized extended hazard model because Cox proportional hazards model and accelerated failure model are two special cases of the extended hazard model. Under a time-dependent covariates assumptions, there is no simple method to detect that the accelerated failure model is suitable for data fitting. To solve this problem, we use the regression parameters to do model selection through the Wald confidence interval, the percentile confidence interval and the bias-correction percentile confidence interval.
