Pointwise nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of stochastically ordered survivor functions
随机有序生存函数的逐点非参数极大似然估计
In this paper, we consider estimation of survivor functions from groups of observations with right-censored data when the groups are subject to a stochastic ordering constraint. Many methods and algorithms have been proposed to estimate distribution functions under such restrictions, but none have completely satisfactory properties when the observations are censored. We propose a pointwise constrained nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator, which is defined at each time…
