On the Breslow estimator.
نویسنده
چکیده
In his discussion of Cox's (1972) paper on proportional hazards regression, Breslow (1972) provided the maximum likelihood estimator for the cumulative baseline hazard function. This estimator is commonly used in practice. The estimator has also been highly valuable in the further development of Cox regression and semiparametric inference with censored data. The present paper describes the Breslow estimator and its tremendous impact on the theory and practice of survival analysis.

An asymptotic linear representation for the Breslow estimator
We provide an asymptotic linear representation for the Breslow estimator for the baseline cumulative hazard function in the Cox model. The representation consists of an average of independent random variables and a term involving the difference between the maximum partial likelihood estimator and the underlying regression parameter. The order of the remainder term is arbitrarily close to n−1.
متن کاملOn the Breslow-Holubkov estimator.
Breslow and Holubkov (J Roy Stat Soc B 59:447-461 1997a) developed semiparametric maximum likelihood estimation for two-phase studies with a case-control first phase under a logistic regression model and noted that, apart for the overall intercept term, it was the same as the semiparametric estimator for two-phase studies with a prospective first phase developed in Scott and Wild (Biometrica 84...

In making inference on the relation between failure and exposure histories in the Cox semiparametric model, the maximum partial likelihood estimator (MPLE) of the finite dimensional odds parameter, and the Breslow estimator of the baseline survival function, are known to achieve full efficiency when data is available for all time on all cohort members, even when the covariates are time dependen...

متن کاملEstimation in a Proportional Hazard Model for Semi-markov Counting Process
Estimation is studied in a regression model for counting processes whose baseline intensity processes are of semi-Markov form. Asymptotic normality is established for a Breslow-type estimator of the cumulative baseline hazard for each gap time of the counting process.
