In this paper, we study a smooth estimator of the conditional hazard rate function in censorship model when data exhibit some dependence structure. We show, under regularity conditions, that kernel suitably normalized is asymptotically normally distributed.

Incompleteness is a major feature of time-to-event data. As one type of incompleteness, truncation refers to the unobservability of the time-to-event variable because it is smaller (or greater) than the truncation variable. A truncated sample always involves left and right truncation. Left truncation has been studied extensively while right truncation has not received the same level of attentio...

background & aim: we aimed to describe a standard survival analysis, so that we can analyze some factors related to the time of occurrence of different types of reflux (unilateral-left, unilateralright, and bilateral) in children with antenatal hydronephrosis (anh) and to provide an approach taking competing risks into account. methods & materials: we used data of 193 children that was collecte...

A simple adjustment to parametric failure-time distributions, which allows for much greater flexibility in the shape of the hazard-rate function, is considered. Analytical expressions for the distributions of the power-law adjusted Weibull, gamma, log-gamma, generalized gamma, lognormal and Pareto distributions are given. Most of these allow for bathtub shaped and other multi-modal forms of the...

A simple adjustment to parametric failure-time distributions, which allows for much greater flexibility in the shape of the hazard-rate function, is considered. Closed-form expressions for the distributions of the power-law adjusted Weibull, gamma, log-gamma, generalized gamma, lognormal and Pareto distributions are given. Most of these allow for bathtub shaped and other multi-modal forms of th...
