چکیده
We derive the asymptotic distributions of a semiparametric Dikta-type estimator and an inverse probability weighted type estimator of a survival function for a missing censoring indicator left truncated model and provide a theoretical comparison study.

Hazard estimation from right censored data with missing censoring indicators
The kernel smoothed Nelson–Aalen estimator has been well investigated, but is unsuitable when some of the censoring indicators are missing. A representation introduced by Dikta, however, facilitates hazard estimation when there are missing censoring indicators. In this article, we investigate (i) a kernel smoothed semiparametric hazard estimator and (ii) a kernel smoothed “pre-smoothed” Nelson ...
متن کاملMultiple Imputations Based Estimation of Survival Functions
We derive the asymptotic distribution of the multiple imputations based Kaplan– Meier estimator from right censored data with missing censoring indicators and perform a theoretical and numerical comparison with a competing semiparametric survival function estimator, including a robustness study.
متن کاملSemiparametric likelihood inference for left-truncated and right-censored data.
This paper proposes a new estimation procedure for the survival time distribution with left-truncated and right-censored data, where the distribution of the truncation time is known up to a finite-dimensional parameter vector. The paper expands on the Vardis multiplicative censoring model (Vardi, 1989. Multiplicative censoring, renewal processes, deconvolution and decreasing density: non-parame...
متن کاملMultiple imputations and the missing censoring indicator model
Semiparametric random censorship (SRC) models (Dikta, 1998) provide an attractive framework for estimating survival functions when censoring indicators are fully or partially available. When there are missing censoring indicators (MCIs), the SRC approach employs a model-based estimate of the conditional expectation of the censoring indicator given the observed time, where the model parameters a...
متن کاملSemiparametric Analysis of Transformation Models with Left-truncated and Right-Censored Data Director
We analyze left-truncated and right-censored (LTRC) data using semiparametric transformation models. It is demonstrated that the approach of Chen et al. (2002) can be extended to LTRC data. A simulation study is conducted to investigate the performance of the proposed estimators.
