An asymptotic linear representation for the Breslow estimator
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Global Partial Likelihood for Nonparametric Proportional Hazards Models.
As an alternative to the local partial likelihood method of Tibshirani and Hastie and Fan, Gijbels, and King, a global partial likelihood method is proposed to estimate the covariate effect in a nonparametric proportional hazards model, λ(t|x) = exp{ψ(x)}λ(0)(t). The estimator, ψ̂(x), reduces to the Cox partial likelihood estimator if the covariate is discrete. The estimator is shown to be consi...
متن کاملAsymptotic Behaviors of Nearest Neighbor Kernel Density Estimator in Left-truncated Data
Kernel density estimators are the basic tools for density estimation in non-parametric statistics. The k-nearest neighbor kernel estimators represent a special form of kernel density estimators, in which the bandwidth is varied depending on the location of the sample points. In this paper, we initially introduce the k-nearest neighbor kernel density estimator in the random left-truncatio...
متن کاملStochastic Restricted Two-Parameter Estimator in Linear Mixed Measurement Error Models
In this study, the stochastic restricted and unrestricted two-parameter estimators of fixed and random effects are investigated in the linear mixed measurement error models. For this purpose, the asymptotic properties and then the comparisons under the criterion of mean squared error matrix (MSEM) are derived. Furthermore, the proposed methods are used for estimating the biasing parameters. Fin...
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.
متن کاملAsymptotic distribution of a simple linear estimator for VARMA models in echelon form
In this paper, we study the asymptotic distribution of a simple two-stage (Hannan-Rissanen-type) linear estimator for stationary invertible vector autoregressive moving average (VARMA) models in the echelon form representation. General conditions for consistency and asymptotic normality are given. A consistent estimator of the asymptotic covariance matrix of the estimator is also provided, so t...
