Consistency of bootstrap procedures for the nonparametric assessment of noninferiority with random censorship
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we consider general Hadamard differentiable functionals φ(ΛR,ΛT ) of the cumulative hazard functions of two samples of randomly right censored data, which can be used for the nonparametric assessment of noninferiority. We prove the consistency of various bootstrap procedures as suggested in Freitag et al. [1] for the practical implementation of tests for this problem.

Statistical Topology Using the Nonparametric Density Estimation and Bootstrap Algorithm
This paper presents approximate confidence intervals for each function of parameters in a Banach space based on a bootstrap algorithm. We apply kernel density approach to estimate the persistence landscape. In addition, we evaluate the quality distribution function estimator of random variables using integrated mean square error (IMSE). The results of simulation studies show a significant impro...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of Spatial Risk for a Mean Nonstationary Random Field}
The common methods for spatial risk estimation are investigated for a stationary random field. Because of simplifying, lets distribution is known, and parametric variogram for the random field are considered. In this paper, we study a nonparametric spatial method for spatial risk. In this method, we model the random field trend by a local linear estimator, and through bias-corrected residuals, ...
متن کاملInference for the Mean Difference in the Two-Sample Random Censorship Model
Inference for the mean difference in the two-sample random censorship model is an important problem in comparative survival and reliability test studies. This paper develops an adjusted empirical likelihood inference and a martingale-based bootstrap inference for the mean difference. A nonparametric version of Wilks' theorem for the adjusted empirical likelihood is derived, and the correspondin...
متن کاملNonparametric Inference for the Proportionality Function in the Random Censorship Model
Censorship in the random censorship model is described by a pro-portionality function (t), where (t) is a function of the survival function S T of the lifetimes, and the survival function S C of the censoring times. An estimator of (t) is proposed and asymptotic properties of the estimator are ascertained. A conndence band for (t) using the bootstrap is derived. We also develop a bootstrap test...
متن کاملConsistency of the Gmlewith Mixed Case Interval - Censored
In this paper we consider an interval censorship model in which the end-points of the censoring intervals are determined by a two stage experiment. In the rst stage the value k of a random integer is selected; in the second stage the endpoints are determined by a case k interval censorship model. We prove the strong consistency in the L 1 ()-topology of the nonparametric maximum likelihood esti...
