Order theory and nonparametric maximum likelihood for interval censored data
Interval censored data arises when individuals can be subjected to periodic inspection at possibly random moments, and their status (e.g. failed or functioning) is ascertained at each inspection. We exploit the order theoretic properties of interval orders to develop a new language describing interval censored data. We show that inference can be based on the set Mof maximal antichains of the da...
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 کاملOn the maximum penalized likelihood approach for proportional hazard models with right censored survival data
This paper considers simultaneous estimation of the regression coefficients and baseline hazard in proportional hazard models using the maximum penalized likelihood (MPL) methodwhere a penalty function is used to smooth the baseline hazard estimate. Although MPL methods exist to fit proportional hazard models, they suffer from the following deficiencies: (i) the positivity constraint on the bas...
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...
