Nonparametric conditional hazard rate estimation: A local linear approach
Parametric and semiparametric methods often fail to capture the right shape of the conditional hazard rate in survival analysis. In this paper we propose a new and intuitive nonparametric estimator for the conditional hazard rate, based on local linear estimation techniques. This estimator can deal with both censored and uncensored data. We show that the local linear hazard rate estimator is co...
متن کاملBayesian nonparametric estimation of hazard rate in monotone Aalen model
This text describes a method of estimating the hazard rate of survival data following monotone Aalen regression model. The proposed approach is based on techniques which were introduced by Arjas and Gasbarra [4]. The unknown functional parameters are assumed to be a priori piecewise constant on intervals of varying count and size. The estimates are obtained with the aid of the Gibbs sampler and...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of Hazard Rate under the Constraint of Monotonicity
We show how to smoothly`monotonise' standard kernel estimators of hazard rate, using bootstrap weights. Our method takes a variety of forms, depending on choice of kernel estimator and on the distance function used to deene a certain constrained optimisation problem. We connne attention to a particularly simple kernel approach, and explore a range of distance functions. It is straightforward to...
متن کاملNear-Linear Time Local Polynomial Nonparametric Estimation
Local polynomial regression (Fan & Gijbels, 1996) is an important class of methods for nonparametric density estimation and regression problems. However, straightforward implementation of local polynomial regression has quadratic time complexity which hinders its applicability in large-scale data analysis. In this paper, we significantly accelerate the computation of local polynomial estimates ...
متن کاملNonparametric Conditional Estimation
Many nonparametric regression techniques (such as kernels, nearest neighbors, and smoothing splines) estimate the conditional mean of Y given X = z by a weighted sum of observed Y values, where observations with X values near z tend to have larger weights. In this report the weights are taken to represent a finite signed measure on the space of Y values. This measure is studied as an estimate o...
