Testing independent censoring for longitudinal data.
A common problem associated with longitudinal studies is the dropouts of subjects or censoring before the end of follow-up. In most existing methods, it is assumed that censoring is noninformative about missed responses. This assumption is crucial to the validity of many statistical procedures. We develop some nonparametric hypothesis testing procedures to test for independent censoring in the ...
متن کاملGroup Testing for Longitudinal Data
We consider how to test for group differences of shapes given longitudinal data. In particular, we are interested in differences of longitudinal models of each group's subjects. We introduce a generalization of principal geodesic analysis to the tangent bundle of a shape space. This allows the estimation of the variance and principal directions of the distribution of trajectories that summarize...
متن کاملA New Nonparametric Regression for Longitudinal Data
In many area of medical research, a relation analysis between one response variable and some explanatory variables is desirable. Regression is the most common tool in this situation. If we have some assumptions for such normality for response variable, we could use it. In this paper we propose a nonparametric regression that does not have normality assumption for response variable and we focus ...
متن کاملTesting Censoring Point Independence
Identification in censored regression analysis and hazard models of duration outcomes relies on the condition that censoring points are independent of latent outcomes, an assumption which may be questionable in many settings. This note proposes a test for this assumption based on a Kolmogorov-Smirnov-like test statistic comparing two different nonparametric estimators for the latent outcome cdf...
متن کاملCONSTANT STRESS ACCELERATED LIFE TESTING DESIGNWITH TYPE-II CENSORING SCHEME FOR PARETO DISTRIBUTION USING GEOMETRIC PROCESS
In many of the studies concerning Accelerated life testing (ALT), the log linear function between life and stress which is just a simple re-parameterization of the original parameter of the life distribution is used to obtain the estimates of original parameters but from the statistical point of view, it is preferable to work with the original parameters instead of developing inferences for the...
