CO1 ESTIMATE AVERAGE MEDICAL COSTS IN THE PRESENCE OF RIGHT-CENSORING

Model Selection for Additive Regression in Presence of Right Censoring

In this paper, we explain how works a nonparametric algorithm for estimating a regression function when the response is censored. The strategy is based on an adequate transformation of the data in order to take the censoring into account and on a standard mean-square contrast for the estimation of the regression function. We illustrate the method through several empirical experiments, in partic...

Adaptive Nonparametric Regression Estimation in Presence of Right Censoring

In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating a regression function when the outcome is censored. Two strategies of estimation are proposed: a two-step strategy where the ratio of two projection estimators is used to estimate the regression function; a direct strategy based on a standard mean-square contrast for censored data. For both estimators, non-asymptotic bounds for the integrated...

Overview of methods to estimate the medical costs of cancer.

BACKGROUND Methods to estimate the direct medical costs of cancer care have evolved into several commonly used methods. OBJECTIVES We describe the different estimation techniques briefly to contrast these approaches and provide a framework for other articles in this monograph. MEASURES AND RESULTS One can estimate costs for all individuals with a specific cancer in a fixed calendar period (...
