Stochastic EM algorithm for doubly interval-censored data.
In clinical trials, it is frequently of interest to estimate the time between the onset of two events (e.g. duration of response in oncology). Here, we consider the case where subjects are assessed at fixed visits but the initial event and the terminating event occur in between visits. This type of data, called doubly interval censored, is often analyzed with standard survival techniques, assum...
متن کاملTracking Interval for Doubly Censored Data with Application of Plasma Droplet Spread Samples
Doubly censoring scheme, which includes left as well as right censored observations, is frequently observed in practical studies. In this paper we introduce a new interval say tracking interval for comparing the two rival models when the data are doubly censored. We obtain the asymptotic properties of maximum likelihood estimator under doubly censored data and drive a statistic for testing the ...
متن کاملThe Stochastic EM Algorithm for Censored Mixed Models
The Stochastic EM algorithm is a Monte Carlo method for approximating the regular EM algorithm in missing data situations where the E step is intractable. It produces a stationary Markov chain iterative sequence where each iteration is the result of applying complete data maximum likelihood estimation to a single simulation of the complete data conditional on the observed data. Analogously to o...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis of Doubly Interval-Censored Failure Time Data
Doubly interval-censored failure time data refer to the failure time data where the survival time of interest is defined as the elapsed time between two related events. Furthermore, observations on the occurrences of both events could be rightor interval-censored. One field in which such data often occur is epidemiological studies where the two events may represent infection and subsequent onse...
متن کاملA Bayesian analysis of multivariate doubly-interval-censored dental data.
A Bayesian survival analysis is presented to examine the effect of fluoride-intake on the time to caries development of the permanent first molars in children between 7 and 12 years of age using a longitudinal study conducted in Flanders. Three problems needed to be addressed. Firstly, since the emergence time of a tooth and the time it experiences caries were recorded yearly, the time to carie...
