A Profile Likelihood Theory for the Correlated Gamma-frailty Model with Current Status Family Data
A profile likelihood inference is made for the regression coefficient and frailty parameters in the correlated gamma-frailty model for current status family data. With the introduction of an identifiability assumption, the identifiability of the parameters and the existence of the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimate (NPMLE) are established, the consistency and convergence rate of the NPML...
متن کاملA serially correlated gamma frailty model for longitudinal count data
A Poisson-gamma model is introduced to account for between-subjects heterogeneity and within-subjects serial correlation occurring in longitudinal count data. The model extends the usual time-constant shared frailty approach to allow time-varying serially correlated gamma frailty whilst retaining standard marginal assumptions. A composite likelihood approach to estimation and testing for serial...
متن کاملCorrelated gamma frailty models for bivariate survival data
Frailty models are used in the survival analysis to account for the unobserved heterogeneity in individual risks to disease and death. To analyze the bivariate data on related survival times (e.g. matched pairs experiments, twin or family data), the shared frailty models were suggested. Shared frailty models are used despite their limitations. To overcome their disadvantages correlated frailty ...
متن کاملChecking for the Gamma Frailty Distribution under the Marginal Proportional Hazards Frailty Model
The marginal proportional hazards frailty model for multivariate failure time data characterizes the intracluster dependency with the frailty model while formulating the marginal distributions with the proportional hazards model. The gamma frailty distribution has been widely used to model intracluster dependency because of its simple interpretation and mathematical tractability. Glidden (2000)...
متن کاملthe use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach
abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...
