Analysis of Proportional Odds Models with Censoring and Errors-in-Covariates
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a consistent method for estimating both the finite and infinite dimensional parameters of the proportional odds model when a covariate is subject to measurement error and time-to-events are subject to right censoring. The proposed method does not rely on the distributional assumption of the true covariate which is not observed in the data. In addition, the proposed estimator does not require the measurement error to be normally distributed or to have any other specific distribution, and we do not attempt to assess the error distribution. Instead, we construct martingale based estimators through inversion, using only the moment properties of the error distribution, estimable from multiple erroneous measurements of the true covariate. The theoretical properties of the estimators are established and the finite sample performance is demonstrated via simulations. We illustrate the usefulness of the method by analyzing a dataset from a clinical study on AIDS.

Cause-selecting Charts based on Proportional Hazards and Binary Frailty Models (Quality Engineering Conference Paper)
Monitoring the reliability of products in both the manufacturing and service processes is of main concern in today’s competitive market. To this end, statistical process control has been widely used to control the reliability-related quality variables. The so-far surveillance schemes have addressed processes with independent quality characteristics. In multistage processes, however, the cascade...

Background & Objectives: The Cox proportional-hazards regression and other parametric models model have achieved widespread use in the analysis of time-to-event data with censoring and covariates. However employing Bayesian method has not been widely used or discussed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic factors in using Bayesian interval censoring analysis.Methods: This cohort...
متن کاملSemiparametric analysis of transformation models with censored data
A unified estimation procedure is proposed for the analysis of censored data using linear transformation models, which include the proportional hazards model and the proportional odds model as special cases. This procedure is easily implemented numerically and its validity does not rely on the assumption of independence between the covariates and the censoring variable. The estimator is the sam...
متن کاملA Class of Semiparametric Mixture Cure Survival Models with Dependent Censoring.
Modern cancer treatments have substantially improved cure rates and have generated a great interest in and need for proper statistical tools to analyze survival data with non-negligible cure fractions. Data with cure fractions are often complicated by dependent censoring, and the analysis of this type of data typically involves untestable parametric assumptions on the dependence of the censorin...
