Bivariate Competing Risks Models Under Random Left Truncation and Right Censoring
In survival or reliability studies, it is common to have truncated data due to the limited time span of the study or dropouts of the subjects for various reasons. The estimation of survivor function under left truncation was first discussed by Kaplan and Meier by extending the well known productlimit estimator of the survivor function. The focus of this paper is on the nonparametric estimation ...
متن کاملParametric Estimation in a Recurrent Competing Risks Model
A resource-efficient approach to making inferences about the distributional properties of the failure times in a competing risks setting is presented. Efficiency is gained by observing recurrences of the compet- ing risks over a random monitoring period. The resulting model is called the recurrent competing risks model (RCRM) and is coupled with two repair strategies whenever the system fails. ...
متن کاملGlaucoma in atomic bomb survivors.
Radiation has been associated with increases in noncancerous diseases. An effect of low-dose radiation on the prevalence of clinically detected glaucoma has not been previously reported. We therefore investigated the prevalence of glaucoma in A-bomb survivors and its possible association with radiation dose. A total of 1,589 people who participated in the clinical examination program for A-bomb...
متن کاملLeukemia in Atomic Bomb Survivors
EUKEMOGENESIS induced by repeated exposures to x-ray and other forms of radiation energy has long been recognized in man and in experimental ammals.’3 The explosion of the atomic bombs in Japan exposed two large human populations to single brief but massive doses of ionizing irradiation and subsequently a marked increase in leukemia among survivors was reported.4 ‘ The present study consists of...
متن کاملAnalysis of left truncated and right censored competing risks data
In this article, the analysis of left truncated and right censored competing risks data is carried out, under the assumption of the latent failure times model. It is assumed that there are two competing causes of failures, although most of the results can be extended for more than two causes of failures. The lifetimes corresponding to the competing causes of failures are assumed to follow Weibu...
