Abstract:

Non-parametric estimation of a survival function from left truncated data subject to right censoring has been extensively studied in the literature. It is commonly assumed in such studies that the lifetime variables are a sample of independent and identically distributed random variables from the target population. This assumption is often prone to failure in practical studies. For instance, when recruited subjects are all from the same institute or the same geographical region. To the best of our knowledge, there is no study in the past literature addressing such situations. In this article, we study large and small sample behavior of Tsai-Jewell-Wang estimator under positive and negative association.

Kernel Ridge Estimator for the Partially Linear Model under Right-Censored Data

Objective: This paper aims to introduce a modified kernel-type ridge estimator for partially linear models under randomly-right censored data. Such models include two main issues that need to be solved: multi-collinearity and censorship. To address these issues, we improved the kernel estimator based on synthetic data transformation and kNN imputation techniques. The key idea of this paper is t...

Quantile Estimation for Left Truncated and Right Censored Data

In this paper we study the estimation of a quantile function based on left truncated and right censored data by the kernel smoothing method. Asymptotic normality and a Berry-Esseen type bound for the kernel quantile estimator are derived. Monte Carlo studies are conducted to compare the proposed estimator with the PL-quantile estimator.

Likelihood Inference for Left Truncated and Right Censored Lifetime Data

Left truncation and right censoring arise naturally in lifetime data. Left truncation arises because in many situations, failure of a unit is observed only if it fails after a certain period. Often, the units under study may not be followed until all of them fail and the experimenter may have to stop at a certain time when some of the units may still be working. This introduces right censoring ...

Semiparametric likelihood inference for left-truncated and right-censored data.

This paper proposes a new estimation procedure for the survival time distribution with left-truncated and right-censored data, where the distribution of the truncation time is known up to a finite-dimensional parameter vector. The paper expands on the Vardis multiplicative censoring model (Vardi, 1989. Multiplicative censoring, renewal processes, deconvolution and decreasing density: non-parame...

Analysis of left truncated and right censored competing risks data

In this article, the analysis of left truncated and right censored competing risks data is carried out, under the assumption of the latent failure times model. It is assumed that there are two competing causes of failures, although most of the results can be extended for more than two causes of failures. The lifetimes corresponding to the competing causes of failures are assumed to follow Weibu...

A Note on the Smooth Estimator of the Quantile Function with Left-Truncated Data

This note focuses on estimating the quantile function based on the kernel smooth estimator under a truncated dependent model. The Bahadurtype representation of the kernel smooth estimator is established, and from the Bahadur representation it can be seen that this estimator is strongly consistent.
