A New Algorithm for MLE with Interval Censored Data
In this paper, we study the two-parameter maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) problem for the GE distribution with consideration of interval data. In the presence of interval data, the analytical forms for the restricted MLE of the parameters of GE distribution do not exist. Since interval data is kind of incomplete data, the EM algorithm can be applied to compute the MLEs of the parameters. Ho...
متن کاملInconsistency of the MLE for the joint distribution of interval censored survival times
This article considers the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for the joint distribution function of an interval censored survival time and a continuous mark variable. We derive a new explicit formula for the MLE that has both computational and theoretical advantages. Using this formula and the mark specific cumulative hazard function of Huang & Louis (1998), we derive the almost ...
متن کاملInconsistency of the MLE for the Joint Distribution of Interval-Censored Survival Times and Continuous Marks.
This paper considers the non-parametric maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for the joint distribution function of an interval-censored survival time and a continuous mark variable. We provide a new explicit formula for the MLE in this problem. We use this formula and the mark-specific cumulative hazard function of Huang & Louis (1998) to obtain the almost sure limit of the MLE. This result lead...
متن کاملA Bayesian analysis of multivariate doubly-interval-censored dental data.
A Bayesian survival analysis is presented to examine the effect of fluoride-intake on the time to caries development of the permanent first molars in children between 7 and 12 years of age using a longitudinal study conducted in Flanders. Three problems needed to be addressed. Firstly, since the emergence time of a tooth and the time it experiences caries were recorded yearly, the time to carie...
متن کاملConsistency of the Semi-Parametric MLE under the Piecewise Proportional Hazards Models with Interval-Censored Data
For a random variable Y, denote its survival function by ( ) ( ) = SY t P Y t > , its density function by ( ) fY t , and its hazard function by ( ) ( ( ) ) Y fY t h t SY t = − . Given a covariate (vector) Z which does not depend on time Y,(Z,Y) follows a time-independent covariate PH (TIPH) model or Cox’s regression model if the conditional hazard function of | Y Z is ( ) ( ) | ( ) | | , Z Y z ...
