Estimation from cross-sectional data under a semiparametric truncation model
半参数截断模型下基于横截面数据的估计
Summary Cross-sectional sampling is often used when investigating inter-event times, resulting in left-truncated and right-censored data. In this paper, we consider a semiparametric truncation model in which the truncating variable is assumed to belong to a certain parametric family. We examine two methods of estimating both the truncation and the lifetime distributions. We obtain asymptotic representations of the estimators for the lifetime distribution and establish their…
