Longitudinal analysis of censored medical cost data.
This paper applies the inverse probability weighted (IPW) least-squares method to estimate the effects of treatment on total medical cost, subject to censoring, in a panel-data setting. IPW pooled ordinary-least squares (POLS) and IPW random effects (RE) models are used. Because total medical cost might not be independent of survival time under administrative censoring, unweighted POLS and RE c...
متن کاملEstimation of Kendall's tau from censored data
This paper considers the nonparametric estimation of Kendall's tau for bivariate censored data. Under censoring, there have been some papers discussing the nonparametric estimation of Kendall's tau, such as Wang and Wells (2000), Oakes (2008) and Lakhal, Rivest and Beaudoin (2009). In this article, we consider an alternative approach to estimate Kendall's tau. The main idea is to replace a cens...
متن کاملEstimation and Reconstruction Based on Left Censored Data from Pareto Model
In this paper, based on a left censored data from the twoparameter Pareto distribution, maximum likelihood and Bayes estimators for the two unknown parameters are obtained. The problem of reconstruction of the past failure times, either point or interval, in the left-censored set-up, is also considered from Bayesian and non-Bayesian approaches. Two numerical examples and a Monte Carlo simulatio...
متن کاملNon-Bayesian Estimation and Prediction under Weibull Interval Censored Data
In this paper, a one-sample point predictor of the random variable X is studied. X is the occurrence of an event in any successive visits $L_i$ and $R_i$ :i=1,2…,n (interval censoring). Our proposed method is based on finding the expected value of the conditional distribution of X given $L_i$ and $R_i$ (i=1,2…,n). To make the desired prediction, our approach is on the basis of approximating the...
متن کاملTwo-sample location-scale estimation from censored data
When two survival functions belong to a location-scale family of distributions, and the available two-sample data are each right censored, the location and scale parameters can be estimated using a minimum distance criterion combined with Kaplan–Meier quantiles. In this paper, it is shown that using the estimated quantiles from a semiparametric random censorship framework produces improved para...
