M-estimation in regression models for censored data
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we study M-estimators of regression parameters in semiparametric linear models for censored data. A class of consistent and asymptotically normal M-estimators is constructed. A resampling method is developed for the estimation of the asymptotic covariance matrix of the estimators. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Estimation and Reconstruction Based on Left Censored Data from Pareto Model
In this paper, based on a left censored data from the twoparameter Pareto distribution, maximum likelihood and Bayes estimators for the two unknown parameters are obtained. The problem of reconstruction of the past failure times, either point or interval, in the left-censored set-up, is also considered from Bayesian and non-Bayesian approaches. Two numerical examples and a Monte Carlo simulatio...
متن کاملBayes Estimation for a Simple Step-stress Model with Type-I Censored Data from the Geometric Distribution
This paper focuses on a Bayes inference model for a simple step-stress life test using Type-I censored sample in a discrete set-up. Assuming the failure times at each stress level are geometrically distributed, the Bayes estimation problem of the parameters of interest is investigated in the both of point and interval approaches. To derive the Bayesian point estimators, some various balanced lo...
متن کاملSimple Estimation Procedure for Censored Regression Models with Known Error Distribution
A simple and tractable iterative least squares estimation procedure for censored regression models with known error distributions is analyzed. It is found to be equivalent to a well-defined Huber type M-estimate. Under a regularity condition, the algorithm has excellent convergence properties. The resulting estimate is shown to be 4N-consistent and asymptotically normal. 'Statistics Department,...
متن کاملGeneralizing Full Rank Conditions in Heteroscedastic Censored Regression Models
Powell's(1984) Censored Least Absolute Deviations (CLAD) estimator for the censored linear regression model has been regarded as a desirable alternative to maximum likelihood estimation methods due to its robustness to conditional heteroscedasticity and distributional misspeci ̄cation of the error term. However, the CLAD estimation procedure has failed in certain empirical applications (e.g. Hon...
متن کاملInformation bounds and efficient estimation in a class of censored transformation models
Transformation models provide a popular tool for regression analysis of censored failure time data. The most common approach towards parameter estimation in these models is based on nonparametric profile likelihood method. Several authors proposed also ad hoc M-estimators of the Euclidean component of the model. These estimators are usually simpler to implement and many of them have good practi...
