Nonparametric quantile estimation under progressive censoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work deals with asymptotic properties of the [αm]-th order statistic of a type-II progressively censored sample of size m. Such an order statistic, indexed by α ∈ [0, 1], is called the quantile process. Our main results concern the normalized version of the quantile process for which invariance principles are obtained. These results are applied in order to construct non-parametric estimators of quantiles.

Composite Quantile Regression for Nonparametric Model with Random Censored Data
The composite quantile regression should provide estimation efficiency gain over a single quantile regression. In this paper, we extend composite quantile regression to nonparametric model with random censored data. The asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator is established. The proposed methods are applied to the lung cancer data. Extensive simulations are reported, showing that the pro...
متن کاملNonparametric Test for Checking Lack-of-Fit of Quantile Regression Model under Random Censoring
Recently, considerable attention has been devoted to quantile regression under random censoring in both statistical and econometrical literature yet little has been done on the important problem of model checking. This paper proposes a nonparametric test for checking the lack-of-fit of the quantile function of the survival time given the covariates when the survival time is subjected to random ...
متن کاملNonparametric quantile estimation with correlated failure time data.
In biomedical studies, correlated failure time data arise often. Although point and confidence interval estimation for quantiles with independent censored failure time data have been extensively studied, estimation for quantiles with correlated failure time data has not been developed. In this article, we propose a nonparametric estimation method for quantiles with correlated failure time data....
متن کاملNonparametric Identification and Estimation of a Censored Location-Scale Regression Model
In this article we consider identification and estimation of a censored nonparametric location scale-model. We first show that in the case where the location function is strictly less than the (fixed) censoring point for all values in the support of the explanatory variables, the location function is not identified anywhere. In contrast, when the location function is greater or equal to the cen...
متن کاملBayesian nonparametric inference on quantile residual life function: Application to breast cancer data.
There is often an interest in estimating a residual life function as a summary measure of survival data. For ease in presentation of the potential therapeutic effect of a new drug, investigators may summarize survival data in terms of the remaining life years of patients. Under heavy right censoring, however, some reasonably high quantiles (e.g., median) of a residual lifetime distribution cann...
