Inference for Sub-survival Functions Under Order Restrictions
We consider the competing risks problem with two risks and when the data are grouped or discrete. We firstly obtain nonparametric maximum likelihood estimates of the sub-survival functions corresponding to the two risks under the restriction that they are uniformly ordered and then use them to derive the likelihood ratio statistic for testing the null hypothesis of equality of the two sub-survi...
متن کاملA General Asymptotic Scheme for Inference under Order Restrictions
Limit distributions for the greatest convex minorant and its derivative are considered for a general class of stochastic processes including partial sum processes and empirical processes, for independent, weakly dependent and long range dependent data. The results are applied to isotonic regression, isotonic regression after kernel smoothing, estimation of convex regression functions, and estim...
متن کاملStatistical inference under order restrictions in analysis of covariance using a modified restricted maximum likelihood estimator.
In this article we introduce a new procedure for estimating population parameters under inequality constraints (known as order restrictions) when the unrestricted maximum liklelihood estimator (UMLE) is multivariate normally distributed with a known covariance matrix. Furthermore, a Dunnett-type test procedure along with the corresponding simultaneous confidence intervals are proposed for drawi...
متن کاملSieve-based Empirical Likelihood under Semiparametric Conditional Moment Restrictions
In this paper we propose a new Sieve-based Locally Weighted Conditional Empirical Likelihood (SLWCEL) estimator for models of conditional moment restrictions containing nite dimensional unknown parameters and in nite dimensional unknown functions h. The SLWCEL is a one-step information-theoretic alternative to the Sieve Minimum Distance estimator analyzed by Ai and Chen (2003). We approximate ...
متن کاملBayesian Analysis of Hazard Regression Models under Order Restrictions on Covariate Effects and Ageing
We propose Bayesian inference in hazard regression models where the baseline hazard is unknown, covariate e¤ects are possibly agevarying (non-proportional), and there is multiplicative frailty with arbitrary distribution. Our framework incorporates a wide variety of order restrictions on covariate dependence and duration dependence (ageing). We propose estimation and evaluation of age-varying c...
