Current Status Data with Competing Risks: Limiting Distribution of the Mle by Piet Groeneboom,
We study nonparametric estimation for current status data with competing risks. Our main interest is in the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), and for comparison we also consider a simpler “naive estimator.” Groeneboom, Maathuis and Wellner [Ann. Statist. (2008) 36 1031– 1063] proved that both types of estimators converge globally and locally at rate n1/3. We use these results to...
متن کاملCurrent Status Data with Competing Risks: Consistency and Rates of Convergence of the Mle by Piet Groeneboom,
We study nonparametric estimation of the sub-distribution functions for current status data with competing risks. Our main interest is in the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), and for comparison we also consider a simpler “naive estimator.” Both types of estimators were studied by Jewell, van der Laan and Henneman [Biometrika (2003) 90 183–197], but little was known about their ...
متن کاملPhilosophy, Art and Critique: A (short) conversation with the “other”
The article sketches a nexus between philosophy, art (poetry) and critique with a particular emphasis on the contribution of classical Muslim philosophers. At the same time, it demonstrates how luminaries such as Omar Khayyam and Ibn Sina, contributed to the renewal of philosophy as a freedom seeking exercise and as a means to pursue happiness through knowledge. In the second&nbs...
متن کاملA Conversation with Graham Hutchings
G raham Hutchings of Cardiff University made a discovery in 1982 that came to define his career. He predicted that golddespite its reputation for being inertshould be an excellent catalyst for an industrial reaction that makes vinyl chloride monomer (VCM, or chloroethene), used to produce one of the world’s most ubiquitous plastics, polyvinyl chloride (PVC). More than three decades later, Hut...
متن کاملA Conversation with Manu Prakash
S tanford bioengineer Manu Prakash specializes in frugal science: engineering cheap, easy-to-use diagnostic tools for the developing world, especially remote areas where bulky, electric-powered lab equipment is impractical. In 2014, Prakash debuted the Foldscopea foldable paper microscope designed to detect blood-borne pathogensas well as a chemistry kit-on-a-chip to carry out diagnostic assa...
