半竞争风险数据的回归分析AI 解读

Summary Semicompeting risks data are commonly seen in biomedical applications in which a terminal event censors a non-terminal event. Possible dependent censoring complicates statistical analysis. We consider regression analysis based on a non-terminal event, say disease progression, which is subject to censoring by death. The methodology proposed is developed for discrete covariates under two types of assumption. First, separate copula models are assumed for each covariate…

二元现状数据的独立性检验AI 解读

This article develops a nonparametric procedure for testing marginal independence based on bivariate current status data. Asymptotic properties of the proposed tests are derived, and their finite-sample performance is studied via simulations. The method is applied to analyze data from a community-based study of cardiovascular epidemiology in Taiwan.

多路径模型中逗留时间分布的非参数估计AI 解读

Summary We use a multipath (multistate) model to describe data with multiple end points. Statistical inference based on the intermediate end point is challenging because of the problems of nonidentifiability and dependent censoring. We study nonparametric estimation for the path probability and the sojourn time distributions between the states. The methodology proposed can be applied to analyse cure models which account for the competing risk of death. Asymptotic properties…

依赖删失下 Copula 模型关联参数的估计AI 解读

Summary Many biomedical studies involve the analysis of multiple events. The dependence between the times to these end points is often of scientific interest. We investigate a situation when one end point is subject to censoring by the other. The model assumptions of Day and co-workers and Fine and co-workers are extended to more general structures where the level of association may vary with time. Two types of estimating function are proposed. Asymptotic properties of the…

二元失效时间数据的模型选择与半参数推断AI 解读

We propose model selection procedures for bivariate survival models for censored data generated by the Archimedean copula family. In route to constructing the selection methodology, we develop estimates of some time-dependent association measures, including estimates of the local and global Kendall's tau, local odds ratio, and other measures defined throughout the literature. We propose a goodness-of-fit-based model selection methodology as well as a graphical approach. We…
