Nonparametric likelihood ratio confidence bands for quantile functions from incomplete survival data
不完整生存数据中分位数函数的非参数似然比置信带
The purpose of this paper is to derive confidence bands for quantile functions using a nonparametric likelihood ratio approach. The method is easy to implement and has several appealing properties. It applies to right-censored and left-truncated data, and it does not involve density estimation or even require the existence of a density. Previous approaches (e.g., bootstrap) have imposed smoothness conditions on the density. The performance of the proposed method is…
