A pairwise likelihood augmented Cox estimator for left-truncated data.
Survival data collected from a prevalent cohort are subject to left truncation and the analysis is challenging. Conditional approaches for left-truncated data could be inefficient as they ignore the information in the marginal likelihood of the truncation times. Length-biased sampling methods may improve the estimation efficiency but only when the underlying truncation time is uniform; otherwis...
متن کاملA Note on the Smooth Estimator of the Quantile Function with Left-Truncated Data
This note focuses on estimating the quantile function based on the kernel smooth estimator under a truncated dependent model. The Bahadurtype representation of the kernel smooth estimator is established, and from the Bahadur representation it can be seen that this estimator is strongly consistent.
متن کاملAsymptotic Behaviors of Nearest Neighbor Kernel Density Estimator in Left-truncated Data
Kernel density estimators are the basic tools for density estimation in non-parametric statistics. The k-nearest neighbor kernel estimators represent a special form of kernel density estimators, in which the bandwidth is varied depending on the location of the sample points. In this paper, we initially introduce the k-nearest neighbor kernel density estimator in the random left-truncatio...
متن کاملStrong Convergence Rates of the Product-limit Estimator for Left Truncated and Right Censored Data under Association
Non-parametric estimation of a survival function from left truncated data subject to right censoring has been extensively studied in the literature. It is commonly assumed in such studies that the lifetime variables are a sample of independent and identically distributed random variables from the target population. This assumption is often prone to failure in practical studies. For instance, wh...
متن کاملLikelihood Inference for Left Truncated and Right Censored Lifetime Data
Left truncation and right censoring arise naturally in lifetime data. Left truncation arises because in many situations, failure of a unit is observed only if it fails after a certain period. Often, the units under study may not be followed until all of them fail and the experimenter may have to stop at a certain time when some of the units may still be working. This introduces right censoring ...
