An exact corrected log-likelihood function for Cox’s proportional hazards model under measurement error and some extensions
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper studies Cox‘s proportional hazards model under covariate measurement error. Nakamura‘s (1990) methodology of corrected log-likelihood will be applied to the so called Breslow likelihood, which is, in the absence of measurement error, equivalent to partial likelihood. For a general error model with possibly heteroscedastic and non-normal additive measurement error, corrected estimators of the regression parameter as well as of the baseline hazard rate are obtained. The estimators proposed by Nakamura (1992), Kong, Huang and Li (1998) and Kong and Gu (1999) are reestablished in the special cases considered there. This sheds new light on these estimators and justifies them as exact corrected score estimators. Finally, the method will be extended to some variants of the Cox model.

متن کاملFull Likelihood Inferences in the Cox Model: an Empirical Likelihood Approach
For the regression parameter β0 in the Cox model, there have been several estimators constructed based on various types of approximated likelihood, but none of them has demonstrated small-sample advantage over Cox’s partial likelihood estimator. In this article, we derive the full likelihood function for (β0, F0), where F0 is the baseline distribution in the Cox model. Using the empirical likel...
متن کاملThe Dantzig Selector in Cox’s Proportional Hazards Model
The Dantzig Selector is a recent approach to estimation in high-dimensional linear regression models with a large number of explanatory variables and a relatively small number of observations. As in the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), this approach sets certain regression coefficients exactly to zero, thus performing variable selection. However, such a framework, contra...
متن کاملAdaptive-LASSO for Cox’s Proportional Hazards Model
We investigate the variable selection problem for Cox’s proportional hazards model, and propose a unified model selection and estimation procedure with desired theoretical properties and computational convenience. The new method is based on a penalized log partial likelihood with the adaptively-weighted L1 penalty on regression coefficients, and is named adaptive-LASSO (ALASSO) estimator. Inste...
متن کاملCorrected likelihood for proportional hazards measurement error model and its application.
Consider the case where the exact values of covariates in the proportional hazards model may not be observed but instead, only surrogates for them involving measurement errors are available. The maximum likelihood estimate based on the partial likelihood with the true covariate replaced by the observed surrogate is even asymptotically biased and may cause seriously misleading results in covaria...
