چکیده

This paper develops a new empirical likelihood method for semiparametric linear regression with a completely unknown error distribution and right censored survival data. The method is based on the Buckley-James (1979) estimating equation. It inherits some appealing properties of the complete data empirical likelihood method. For example, it does not require variance estimation which is problematic for the Buckley-James estimator. We also extend our method to incorporate auxiliary information. We compare our method with the synthetic data empirical likelihood of Li and Wang (2003) using simulations. We also illustrate our method using Stanford heart transplantation data.

Weighted Empirical Likelihood in Some Two-sample Semiparametric Models with Various Types of Censored Data

In this article, the weighted empirical likelihood is applied to a general setting of two-sample semiparametric models, which includes biased sampling models and case-control logistic regression models as special cases. For various types of censored data, such as right censored data, doubly censored data, interval censored data and partly interval-censored data, the weighted empirical likelihoo...

Empirical likelihood inference for censored median regression with weighted empirical hazard functions

In recent years, median regression models have been shown to be useful for analyzing a variety of censored survival data in clinical trials. For inference on the regression parameter, there have been a variety of semiparametric procedures. However, the accuracy of such procedures in terms of coverage probability can be quite low when the censoring rate is heavy. In this paper, based on weighted...

A Sieve M-theorem for Bundled Parameters in Semiparametric Models, with Application to the Efficient Estimation in a Linear Model for Censored Data By

In many semiparametric models that are parameterized by two types of parameters—a Euclidean parameter of interest and an infinite-dimensional nuisance parameter—the two parameters are bundled together, that is, the nuisance parameter is an unknown function that contains the parameter of interest as part of its argument. For example, in a linear regression model for censored survival data, the u...

Statistical Diagnosis for General Transformation Model with Right Censored Data Based on Empirical Likelihood

In this work, we consider statistical diagnostic for general transformation models with right censored data based on empirical likelihood. The models are a class of flexible semiparametric survival models and include many popular survival models as their special cases. Based on empirical likelihood methodologe, we define some diagnostic statistics. Through some simulation studies, we show that ...
