Sieve Estimation with Bivariate Interval Censored Data
Bivariate interval censored data arises in many applications. However, both theoretical and computational investigations for this type of data are limited because of the complicated structure of bivariate censoring. In this paper, we propose a two-stage spline-based sieve estimator for the association between two event times with bivariate case 2 interval censored data. A smooth and explicit es...
متن کاملSmooth estimation of the survival function for interval censored data.
Interval censored data arise naturally in large-scale panel studies where subjects can only be followed periodically and the event of interest can only be observed in some time intervals. To estimate the survival function the non-parametric maximum likelihood estimator (NPMLE) is commonly used, which is a step function having some large jumps. However, in many applications the underlying surviv...
متن کاملNonparametric maximum likelihood estimation for bivariate censored data
We study the behavior of the (nonparametric) maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for bivariate censored data. The motivation for doing this was triggered by our interest in the problem of estimating the incubation time distribution of HIV/AIDS. We study the computational and algorithmic aspects of the MLE for bivariate interval censored data, and introduce an algorithm for computing the MLE whic...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of the Bivariate Survival Function with Truncated Data
Randomly left or right truncated observations occur when one is concerned with estimation of the distribution of time between two events and when one only observes the time if one of the two events falls in a fixed time-window, so that longer survival times have higher probability to be part of the sample than short survival times. In important AIDSapplications the time between seroconversion a...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of the Bivariate Survival Function
Randomly left or right truncated observations occur when one is concerned with estimation of the distribution of time between two events and when one only observes the time if one of the two events falls in a xed time-window, so that longer survival times have higher probability to be part of the sample than short survival times. In important AIDS-applications the time between seroconversion an...
