Empirical Likelihood Approach and its Application on Survival Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
A number of nonparametric methods exist when studying the population and its parameters in the situation when the distribution is unknown. Some of them such as "resampling bootstrap method" are based on resampling from an initial sample. In this article empirical likelihood approach is introduced as a nonparametric method for more efficient use of auxiliary information to construct confidence regions. In empirical likelihood approach a Lagrange multipliers method is applied to estimate ...(to countinue here)

Empirical Likelihood in Survival Analysis
Since the pioneering work of Thomas and Grunkemeier (1975) and Owen (1988), the empirical likelihood has been developed as a powerful nonparametric inference approach and become popular in statistical literature. There are many applications of empirical likelihood in survival analysis. In this paper, we present an overview of some recent developments of the empirical likelihood for survival dat...
متن کاملEmpirical Likelihood Approach for Non-Gaussian Vector Stationary Processes and Its Application to Minimum Contrast Estimation
A. For a class of vector-valued non-Gaussian stationary processes with unknown parameters, we develop the empirical likelihood approach. In time series analysis it is known that Whittle likelihood is one of the most fundamental tools to get a good estimator of unknown parameters, and that the score functions are asymptotically normal. Motivated by the Whittle likelihood, we apply the emp...
متن کاملRegression analysis for long-term survival rate via empirical likelihood
In recent years, regression models have been shown to be useful for predicting the long-term survival probabilities of patients in clinical trials. For inference on the vector of regression parameters, there are semiparametric procedures based on normal approximations. However, the accuracy of such procedures in terms of coverage probability can be quite low when the censoring rate is heavy. In...
متن کاملAdjusted empirical likelihood and its properties
Computing profile empirical likelihood function is a key step in applications of empirical likelihood which involves constrained maximization. However, in some situations, solutions to the corresponding constraints may not exist. In this case, the convention is to assign a zero value to the profile empirical likelihood. This convention has at least two limitations. First, it is numerically diff...
متن کاملconstruction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality
like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...
the effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test
in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...
