Linear regression analysis of censored medical costs.
This paper deals with the problem of linear regression for medical cost data when some study subjects are not followed for the full duration of interest so that their total costs are unknown. Standard survival analysis techniques are ill-suited to this type of censoring. The familiar normal equations for the least-squares estimation are modified in several ways to properly account for the incom...
متن کاملProportional means regression for censored medical costs.
The semiparametric proportional means model specifies that the mean function for the cumulative medical cost over time conditional on a set of covariates is equal to an arbitrary baseline mean function multiplied by an exponential regression function. We demonstrate how to estimate the vector-valued regression parameter using possibly censored lifetime costs. The estimator is consistent and asy...
متن کاملPartially linear censored quantile regression.
Censored regression quantile (CRQ) methods provide a powerful and flexible approach to the analysis of censored survival data when standard linear models are felt to be appropriate. In many cases however, greater flexibility is desired to go beyond the usual multiple regression paradigm. One area of common interest is that of partially linear models: one (or more) of the explanatory covariates ...
متن کاملLinear Hypothesis Testing in Censored Regression Models
For testing a linear hypothesis in a censored regression (or censored “Tobit”) model, three test criteria and four test statistics based on least absolute deviations estimates of parameters are proposed and their limiting chi-square distributions are established. Some consistent estimates of nuisance parameters are obtained for use in computing the test statistics. A simulation study for small ...
