Locally Efficient Estimation With Bivariate Right-Censored Data
二元右删失数据的局部有效估计
Estimation of the survival curve for independently right-censored bivariate failure time data is a problem that has been studied extensively over the past 20 years. In this article we propose a new class of estimators for the bivariate survivor function based on locally efficient (LE) estimation. The LE estimator takes bivariate estimators Fn and Gn of the distributions of the time variables (T1, T2) and the censoring variables (C1, C2), and maps them to the resulting…
