Simultaneous confidence bands for the integrated hazard function
نویسندگان
چکیده
The construction of the simultaneous confidence bands for the integrated hazard function is considered. The Nelson–Aalen estimator is used. The simultaneous confidence bands based on bootstrap methods are presented. Two methods of construction of such confidence bands are proposed. The weird bootstrap method is used for resampling. Simulations are made to compare the actual coverage probability of the bootstrap and the asymptotic simultaneous confidence bands. It is shown that the equal–tailed bootstrap confidence band has the coverage probability closest to the nominal one. We also present application of our confidence bands to the data regarding survival after heart transplant.

Inference for a Linear Functional of Cumulative Hazard Function Via Empirical Likelihood
Owen (1988, 1990) constructed a confidence interval for a general functional without censoring. Linear functional of cumulative hazard function provides a flexible choice for medical researchers to assess effectiveness of treatments, which include (a) partial mean lifetime, (b) distribution function, and (c) cumulative hazard function. In this article, we consider two linear functionals of cumu...
متن کاملComparison Of Hyperbolic And Constant Width Simultaneous Confidence Bands in Multiple Linear Regression Under MVCS Criterion
A simultaneous confidence band gives useful information on the reasonable range of the unknown regression model. In this note, when the predictor variables are constrained to a special ellipsoidal region, hyperbolic and constant width confidence bonds for a multiple linear regression model are compared under the minimum volome confidence set (MVCS) criterion. The size of one speical an...
متن کاملOn the Effect of Random Alternating Perturbations on Hazard Rates
We consider a model for systems perturbed by dichotomous noise, in which the hazard rate function of a random lifetime is subject to additive time-alternating perturbations described by the telegraph process. This leads us to define a real-valued continuous-time stochastic process of alternating type expressed in terms of the integrated telegraph process for which we obtain the probability dist...
متن کاملTreatment Comparison in Biomedical Studies Using Survival Function
In the dissertation, we study the statistical evaluation of treatment comparisons by evaluating the relative comparison of survival experiences between two treatment groups. We construct confidence interval and simultaneous confidence bands for the ratio and odds ratio of two survival functions through both parametric and nonparametric approaches. We first construct empirical likelihood confide...
متن کاملOuter and Inner Confidence Intervals Based on Extreme Order Statistics in a Proportional Hazard Model
Let Mi and Mi be the maximum and minimum of the ith sample from k independent sample with different sample sizes, respectively. Suppose that the survival distribution function of the ith sample is F ̄i = F ̄αi, where αi is known and positive constant. It is shown that how various exact non-parametric inferential proce- ′ dures can be developed on the basis of Mi’s and Mi ’s for distribution ...
