Bayesian Analysis and Model Selection for Interval-Censored Survival Data

Bayesian analysis and model selection for interval-censored survival data.

Interval-censored data occur in survival analysis when the survival time of each patient is only known to be within an interval and these censoring intervals differ from patient to patient. For such data, we present some Bayesian discretized semiparametric models, incorporating proportional and nonproportional hazards structures, along with associated statistical analyses and tools for model se...

Non-Bayesian Estimation and Prediction under Weibull Interval Censored Data

In this paper, a one-sample point predictor of the random variable X is studied. X is the occurrence of an event in any successive visits $L_i$ and $R_i$ :i=1,2…,n (interval censoring). Our proposed method is based on finding the expected value of the conditional distribution of X given $L_i$ and $R_i$ (i=1,2…,n). To make the desired prediction, our approach is on the basis of approximating the...

Bayesian analysis of clustered interval-censored data.

The recording of multiple interval-censored failure times is common in dental research. Modeling multilevel data has been a difficult task. This paper aims to use the Bayesian approach to analyze a set of multilevel clustered interval-censored data from a clinical study to investigate the effectiveness of silver diamine fluoride and sodium fluoride varnish in arresting active dentin caries in C...
