Nonparametric Identification of Accelerated Failure Time Competing Risks Models
We provide new conditions for identification of accelerated failure time competing risks models. These include Roy models and some auction models. In our set up, unknown regression functions and the joint survivor function of latent disturbance terms are all nonparametric. We show that this model is identified given covariates that are independent of latent errors, provided that a certain rank ...
متن کاملSurvival analysis of thalassemia major patients using Cox, Gompertz proportional hazard and Weibull accelerated failure time models
Background: Thalassemia major (TM) is a severe disease and the most common anemia worldwide. The survival time of the disease and its risk factors are of importance for physicians. The present study was conducted to apply the semi-parametric Cox PH model and use parametric proportional hazards (PH) and accelerated failure time (AFT) models to identify the risk factors related to survival of TM ...
متن کاملIdentification in Accelerated Failure Time Competing Risks
We provide new conditions for identification in accelerated failure time competing risks models. In our model, we specify unknown regression functions and the joint survivor function of latent disturbance terms nonparametrically. We show that the model can be identified with covariates that are independent of latent errors, provided that certain rank conditions are satisfied. We present a simpl...
متن کاملSpecication Testing for Transformation Models with an Application to Generalized Accelerated Failure-time Models
Consider a nonseparable model Y = R(X;U) where Y and X are observed, while U is unobserved and conditionally independent of X. This paper provides the rst nonparametric test of whether R takes the form of a transformation model, meaning that Y is monotonic in the sum of a function of X plus a function of U . Transformation models of this form are commonly assumed in economics, including, e.g.,...
