Model selection and inference for censored lifetime medical expenditures.
Identifying factors associated with increased medical cost is important for many micro- and macro-institutions, including the national economy and public health, insurers and the insured. However, assembling comprehensive national databases that include both the cost and individual-level predictors can prove challenging. Alternatively, one can use data from smaller studies with the understandin...
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 کاملEmpirical likelihood inference for regression model of mean quality-adjusted lifetime with censored data
The authors consider the empirical likelihood method for the regression model of mean qualityadjusted lifetime with right censoring. They show that an empirical log-likelihood ratio for the vector of the regression parameters is asymptotically a weighted sum of independent chi-square distributions. They obtain an adjusted empirical log-likelihood ratio which is asymptotically standard chi-squar...
متن کاملEstimation and Model Selection for Left-truncated and Right-censored Lifetime Data with Application to Electric Power Transformers Analysis
In lifetime analysis of electric transformers, the maximum likelihood estimation has been proposed with the EM algorithm. However, it is not clear whether the EM algorithm offers a better solution compared to the simpler Newton-Raphson algorithm. In this paper, the first objective is a systematic comparison of the EM algorithm with the Newton-Raphson algorithm in terms of convergence performanc...
