Wald statistic was used to test the estimated parameter against a hypothetical population value. The Wald test was computed as the squared difference of the parameter estimate (B) against the hypothetical value divided by the standard error estimate. In a test for the global null hypothesis the parameter estimate was tested against a value of 0 (HR=1). The other tests tested whether the estimated parameter differs from 0.095 for a hazard ratio of 1.1, from 0.182 for a hazard ratio of 1.2 etc. The Wald test was performed using Proc PHREG in SAS 9.4.
