Semiparametric efficient estimation for shared-frailty models with doubly-censored clustered data
双侧删失聚类数据共享脆弱性模型的半参数有效估计
In this paper, we investigate frailty models for clustered survival data that are subject to both left- and right-censoring, termed "doubly-censored data". This model extends current survival literature by broadening the application of frailty models from right-censoring to a more complicated situation with additional left censoring. Our approach is motivated by a recent Hepatitis B study where the sample consists of families. We adopt a likelihood approach that aims at the…
