Bivariate Density Estimation with an Application to Survival Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
A procedure for estimating a bivariate density based on data that may be censored is described After the data are transformed to the unit square the bivariate density is estimated using linear splines and their tensor products The combined procedure yields an estimate of the bivariate density on the original scale which may provide insight about the dependence structure The procedure can also be used to estimate densities that are known to be symmetric and to test for independence

‎In this paper‎, ‎we have dealt with the distribution theory of concomitants of order statistics arising from Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern bivariate Lomax distribution‎. ‎We have discussed the estimation of the parameters associated with the distribution of the variable Y of primary interest‎, ‎based on the ranked set sample defined by ordering the marginal observations...
متن کاملModified EM-estimator of the Bivariate Survival Function
Pruitt (1991b) proposed estimating a bivariate survival function for censored data by modifying the self-consistency equations of the EM-algorithm. Though not efficient, the estimator has very good practical performance. In this paper, we prove weak convergence at √ n-rate, strong uniform consistency and a semiparametric bootstrap result for this implicitly defined estimator. The estimator is a...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of the Bivariate Survival Function with Truncated Data
Randomly left or right truncated observations occur when one is concerned with estimation of the distribution of time between two events and when one only observes the time if one of the two events falls in a fixed time-window, so that longer survival times have higher probability to be part of the sample than short survival times. In important AIDSapplications the time between seroconversion a...

Randomly left or right truncated observations occur when one is concerned with estimation of the distribution of time between two events and when one only observes the time if one of the two events falls in a xed time-window, so that longer survival times have higher probability to be part of the sample than short survival times.

متن کاملAsymptotic Efficiencies of the MLE Based on Bivariate Record Values from Bivariate Normal Distribution
Abstract. Maximum likelihood (ML) estimation based on bivariate record data is considered as the general inference problem. Assume that the process of observing k records is repeated m times, independently. The asymptotic properties including consistency and asymptotic normality of the Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimates of parameters of the underlying distribution is then established, when m is ...
