نویسنده
چکیده
Analytic bootstrap estimators for the moments of survival quantities are derived. By using these expressions recommendations can be made as to the appropriateness of bootstrap estimation under censored data conditions.

Bootstrap Methods for Truncated and Censored Data
For right censored data, Efron (1981) has shown that his “simple” and “obvious” methods of bootstrapping are equivalent. We explain why this equivalence no longer holds for truncated data. Wang (1991) generalized Efron’s “obvious” bootstrap method to data that are both left truncated and right censored, under the assumption that C ≥ T and C − T is independent of T , where T and C denote the (ge...
متن کاملDouble Bootstrap Confidence Interval Estimates with Censored and Truncated Data
Traditional inferential procedures often fail with censored and truncated data, especially when sample sizes are small. In this paper we evaluate the performances of the double and single bootstrap interval estimates by comparing the double percentile (DB-p), double percentile-t (DB-t), single percentile (B-p), and percentile-t (B-t) bootstrap interval estimation methods via a coverage probabil...
متن کاملModel based bootstrap methods for interval censored data
We investigate the performance of model based bootstrap methods for constructing point-wise confidence intervals around the survival function with interval censored data. We show that bootstrapping from the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of the survival function is inconsistent for both the current status and case 2 interval censoring models. A model based smoothed bootstrap procedu...
متن کاملThe jackknife's edge: Inference for censored regression quantiles
For censored data, it is very common for the tail of the survival function to be non-identifiable because of the abundance of censored observations in the tail. Thus, if bootstrap methods are needed, they may perform poorly near the point of non-identifiability because of the variability in bootstrap samples. Since jackknife methods provide much less variability, they should provide better cove...
متن کاملBootstrap confidence intervals for medical costs with censored observations.
Medical costs data with administratively censored observations often arise in cost-effectiveness studies of treatments for life-threatening diseases. Mean of medical costs incurred from the start of a treatment until death or a certain time point after the implementation of treatment is frequently of interest. In many situations, due to the skewed nature of the cost distribution and non-uniform...
