A semiparametric estimator of the bivariate distribution function for censored gap times.
Let (T(1), T(2)) be gap times corresponding to two consecutive events, which are observed subject to random right-censoring. In this paper, a semiparametric estimator of the bivariate distribution function of (T(1), T(2)) and, more generally, of a functional E [φ(T(1),T(2))] is proposed. We assume that the probability of censoring for T(2) given the (possibly censored) gap times belongs to a pa...
متن کاملBivariate censored regression relying on a new estimator of the joint distribution function
In this paper we study a class of M−estimators in a regression model under bivariate random censoring and provide a set of su cient conditions that ensure asymptotic n1/2−convergence. The cornerstone of our approach is a new estimator of the joint distribution function of the censored lifetimes. A copula approach is used to modelize the dependence structure between the bivariate censoring times...
متن کاملAlmost Sure Convergence of Kernel Bivariate Distribution Function Estimator under Negative Association
Let {Xn ,n=>1} be a strictly stationary sequence of negatively associated random variables, with common distribution function F. In this paper, we consider the estimation of the two-dimensional distribution function of (X1, Xk+1) for fixed $K /in N$ based on kernel type estimators. We introduce asymptotic normality and properties and moments. From these we derive the optimal bandwidth...
متن کاملReduction Algorithm for the NPMLE for the Distribution Function of Bivariate Interval Censored Data
We study computational aspects of the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (NPMLE) for the distribution function of bivariate interval censored data. The computation of the NPMLE consists of two steps: a parameter reduction step and an optimization step. In this paper we focus on the reduction step. We introduce two new reduction algorithms: the Tree algorithm and the HeightMap algorithm....
متن کاملPrediction of Times to Failure of Censored Units in Hybrid Censored Samples from Exponential Distribution
In this paper, we discuss different predictors of times to failure of units censored in a hybrid censored sample from exponential distribution. Bayesian and non-Bayesian point predictors for the times to failure of units are obtained. Non-Bayesian prediction Intervals are obtained based on pivotal and highest conditional density methods. Bayesian prediction intervals are also proposed. One real...
