Non- and Semi- Parametric Modeling in Survival analysis
In this chapter, we give a selective review of the nonparametric modeling methods using Cox’s type of models in survival analysis. We first introduce Cox’s model (Cox 1972) and then study its variants in the direction of smoothing. The model fitting, variable selection, and hypothesis testing problems are addressed. A number of topics worthy of further study are given throughout this chapter.
متن کاملParametric and non-parametric approaches to price and tax reform
In many public policy problems, we need to estimate the way in which policy changes affect people’s behavior. In the analysis of tax and subsidy reform, which is the topic of this paper, we need to know how tax-induced price changes affect the amounts that people buy of the taxed goods. We present various economic and statistical approaches to obtaining the estimates that are required. We consi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Grain Yield Stability of Durum Wheat Genotypes Using Parametric and Non-Parametric Methods
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L.), like most other crops, is affected by various stresses. Therefore, cultivars that, in addition to the ability to produce higher yields, can maintain their yield potential in different years and locations are considered superior cultivars. In order to obtain high-yielding and stable genotypes of durum wheat, 16 lines with two control cultivars Dehdasht and Sey...
متن کاملStochastic Non-Parametric Frontier Analysis
In this paper we develop an approach that synthesizes the best features of the two main methods in the estimation of production efficiency. Specically, our approach first allows for statistical noise, similar to Stochastic frontier analysis, and second, it allows modeling multiple-inputs-multiple-outputs technologies without imposing parametric assumptions on production relationship, similar to...
متن کاملpatterns and variations in native and non-native interlanguage pragmatic rating: effects of rater training, intercultural proficiency, and self-assessment
although there are studies on pragmatic assessment, to date, literature has been almost silent about native and non-native english raters’ criteria for the assessment of efl learners’ pragmatic performance. focusing on this topic, this study pursued four purposes. the first one was to find criteria for rating the speech acts of apology and refusal in l2 by native and non-native english teachers...
