Strong Convergence Rates of the Product-limit Estimator for Left Truncated and Right Censored Data under Association
Non-parametric estimation of a survival function from left truncated data subject to right censoring has been extensively studied in the literature. It is commonly assumed in such studies that the lifetime variables are a sample of independent and identically distributed random variables from the target population. This assumption is often prone to failure in practical studies. For instance, wh...
متن کاملGamma Kernel Estimators for Density and Hazard Rate of Right-Censored Data
The nonparametric estimation for the density and hazard rate functions for right-censored data using the kernel smoothing techniques is considered. The “classical” fixed symmetric kernel type estimator of these functions performs well in the interior region, but it suffers from the problem of bias in the boundary region. Here, we propose new estimators based on the gamma kernels for the density...
متن کاملQuantile Estimation for Left Truncated and Right Censored Data
In this paper we study the estimation of a quantile function based on left truncated and right censored data by the kernel smoothing method. Asymptotic normality and a Berry-Esseen type bound for the kernel quantile estimator are derived. Monte Carlo studies are conducted to compare the proposed estimator with the PL-quantile estimator.
متن کاملLikelihood Inference for Left Truncated and Right Censored Lifetime Data
Left truncation and right censoring arise naturally in lifetime data. Left truncation arises because in many situations, failure of a unit is observed only if it fails after a certain period. Often, the units under study may not be followed until all of them fail and the experimenter may have to stop at a certain time when some of the units may still be working. This introduces right censoring ...
متن کاملSemiparametric likelihood inference for left-truncated and right-censored data.
This paper proposes a new estimation procedure for the survival time distribution with left-truncated and right-censored data, where the distribution of the truncation time is known up to a finite-dimensional parameter vector. The paper expands on the Vardis multiplicative censoring model (Vardi, 1989. Multiplicative censoring, renewal processes, deconvolution and decreasing density: non-parame...
