چکیده
Cattaneo, Grump, and Jansson (2013) present an interesting estimator, namely the generalized jackknife estimator, for estimating weighted average derivatives. Starting with a high-order (in this case, second-order) linearization of the estimating equation, they obtain the asymptotic approximation under a weak bandwidth selection which does not require the standard convergence rate of the nonparametric estimator faster than n1/4. Specifically, an asymptotic approximation of θ̂n(Hn) is given when n|Hn|λmin(Hn)/ log(n)3/2 → ∞. The polynomial expression of the asymptotic bias in θ̂n(Hn) in terms of Hn further motivates the construction of the generalized jackknife estimator θ̃n(Hn, c), which eliminates the asymptotic bias. They present a number of simulation studies demonstrating that θ̃n(Hn, c) leads to noticeable bias reduction with small bandwidths. Another contribution includes a proof of the uniform convergence of the kernel estimators.

Censored Quantile Regression with Varying Coefficients
We propose a varying-coefficient quantile regression model for survival data subject to random censoring. Motivated by the work of Yang (1999), quantilebased moments are constructed using covariate-weighted empirical cumulative hazard functions. We estimate regression parameters based on the generalized method of moments. The proposed estimators are shown to be consistent and asymptotically nor...

Semiparametric Additive Risks Model for Interval-censored Data
Interval-censored event time data often arise in medical and public health studies. In such a setting, the exact time of the event of interest cannot be observed and is only known to fall between two monitoring times. Our interest focuses on the estimation of the effect of risk factors on interval-censored data under the semiparametric additive hazards model. A nonparametric step-function is us...
