Identifiability of Bivariate Survival Curves from Censored Data
删失数据中二元生存曲线的可识别性
We show that the survival curve is identifiable in bivariate censored data problems under weaker independence assumptions than have commonly been made. The common assumption has been mutual independence of (T 1, T 2) and (Z 1, Z 2), where (T 1, T 2) is the true survival vector, (Z 1, Z 2) is a nuisance censoring vector, and bivariate right-censored data is observed. We show that the distribution of (T 1, T 2) is identifiable under weaker, conditional independence assumptions…
