Frailty models for arbitrarily censored and truncated data.
In this paper, we propose a frailty model for statistical inference in the case where we are faced with arbitrarily censored and truncated data. Our results extend those of Alioum and Commenges (1996), who developed a method of fitting a proportional hazards model to data of this kind. We discuss the identifiability of the regression coefficients involved in the model which are the parameters o...
متن کاملMultivariate Frailty Models for Exchangeable Survival Data with Covariates
We consider a multivariate lognormal frailty model for correlated exchangeable failure time data, where the marginal lifetimes have conditional Weibull distributions. We discuss Bayesian statistical methods to fit this model to experimental data with varying cluster sizes. The Bayesian inferential approach arises naturally from the hierarchical structure of the frailty model. In contrast, imple...
متن کاملDynamic Frailty and Change Point Models for Recurrent Events Data
Abstract. We present a Bayesian analysis for recurrent events data using a nonhomogeneous mixed Poisson point process with a dynamic subject-specific frailty function and a dynamic baseline intensity func- tion. The dynamic subject-specific frailty employs a dynamic piecewise constant function with a known pre-specified grid and the baseline in- tensity uses an unknown grid for the piecewise ...
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 ...
متن کاملSemiparametric likelihood inference for left-truncated and right-censored data.
This paper proposes a new estimation procedure for the survival time distribution with left-truncated and right-censored data, where the distribution of the truncation time is known up to a finite-dimensional parameter vector. The paper expands on the Vardis multiplicative censoring model (Vardi, 1989. Multiplicative censoring, renewal processes, deconvolution and decreasing density: non-parame...
