The Cox model is the model of choice when analyzing right-censored and possibly left-truncated survival data. The present paper proposes a program to estimate the hazard function in a proportional hazards model and also to treat more complex observation schemes involving general censored and left-truncated data. The hazard function estimator is defined non-parametrically as the function which m...

In this article, the weighted empirical likelihood is applied to a general setting of two-sample semiparametric models, which includes biased sampling models and case-control logistic regression models as special cases. For various types of censored data, such as right censored data, doubly censored data, interval censored data and partly interval-censored data, the weighted empirical likelihoo...

Because of the increased availability of genome-wide sets of molecular markers along with reduced cost of genotyping large samples of individuals, genomic estimated breeding values have become an essential resource in plant and animal breeding. Bayesian methods for breeding value estimation have proven to be accurate and efficient; however, the ever-increasing data sets are placing heavy demand...

Abstract The popularity of AIDS may not easily extend to censored demand systems. We propose an incomplete demand system that has relatively few restrictions on the parameter space, but preserves its theoretical consistency and apply this mo...

We propose an estimation procedure for (semiparametric) panel data censored regression models in which the error terms may be subject to general forms of non-stationarity, thus permitting heteroscedasticity over time. The proposed estimator exploits a weak structural form imposed on the individual speciic eeect. This is in contrast to the estimators introduced in Honor e(1992) where the individ...
