Pseudo full likelihood estimation for prospective survival analysis with a general semiparametric shared frailty model: asymptotic theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we present a simple estimation procedure for a general frailty model for analysis of prospective correlated failure times. Earlier work showed this method to perform well in a simulation study. Here we provide rigorous large-sample theory for the proposed estimators of both the regression coefficient vector and the dependence parameter, including consistent variance estimators.

Prospective survival analysis with a general semiparametric shared frailty model - a pseudo full likelihood approach
1 Summary In this work we provide a simple estimation procedure for a general frailty model for analysis of prospective correlated failure times. Rigorous large-sample theory for the proposed estimators of both the regression coefficient vector and the dependence parameter is given, including consistent variance estimators. In a simulation study under the widely used gamma frailty model, our pr...
متن کاملCase-control Survival Analysis with a General Semiparametric Shared Frailty Model: a Pseudo Full Likelihood Approach1 by Malka Gorfine,
In this work we deal with correlated failure time (age at onset) data arising from population-based, case-control studies, where case and control probands are selected by population-based sampling and an array of risk factor measures is collected for both cases and controls and their relatives. Parameters of interest are effects of risk factors on the failure time hazard function and within-fam...
متن کاملA Frailty Model Approach for Regression Analysis of Bivariate Interval-censored Survival Data
Owing to the fact that general semiparametric inference procedures are still underdeveloped for multivariate interval-censored event time data, we propose semiparametric maximum likelihood estimation for the gamma-frailty Cox model under mixed-case interval censoring. We establish the consistency of the semiparametric maximum likelihood estimator (SPMLE) for the model parameters, including the ...
متن کاملEstimation and model selection of semiparametric multivariate survival functions under general censorship.
We study estimation and model selection of semiparametric models of multivariate survival functions for censored data, which are characterized by possibly misspecified parametric copulas and nonparametric marginal survivals. We obtain the consistency and root-n asymptotic normality of a two-step copula estimator to the pseudo-true copula parameter value according to KLIC, and provide a simple c...
