Estimation in a Proportional Hazard Model for Semi-markov Counting Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

The objective of hazards (lifetime) analysis is to advance and promote statistical science in the various applied fields that deal with lifetime (survival) data including: actuarial science and reliability engineering. The lifetime data analysis provides special techniques that are required to compare the risks for failure. Bayesian semi-parametric methods have been applied to survival analysis...
متن کاملExtended Geometric Processes: Semiparametric Estimation and Application to ReliabilityImperfect repair, Markov renewal equation, replacement policy
Lam (2007) introduces a generalization of renewal processes named Geometric processes, where inter-arrival times are independent and identically distributed up to a multiplicative scale parameter, in a geometric fashion. We here envision a more general scaling, not necessar- ily geometric. The corresponding counting process is named Extended Geometric Process (EGP). Semiparametric estimates are...

Extensions of the traditional Cox proportional hazard model, concerning the following features are often desirable in applications: Simultaneous nonparametric estimation of baseline hazard and usual fixed covariate effects, modelling and detection of time–varying covariate effects and nonlinear functional forms of metrical covariates, and inclusion of frailty components. In this paper, we devel...

Semi-Markov processes have gained popularity as multistate models of disease progression but have rarely been used in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) when many endpoints are collected over time. Reasons for this include the additional complexity created by censoring, the complexity of the model usually characterised by transition intensities and difficulties in estimating clinically relevant ...
