Imputation methods for doubly censored HIV data.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In medical research, it is common to have doubly censored survival data: origin time and event time are both subject to censoring. In this paper, we review simple and probability-based methods that are used to impute interval censored origin time and compare the performance of these methods through extensive simulations in the one-sample problem, two-sample problem and Cox regression model problem. The use of a bootstrap procedure for inference is demonstrated.

Regression Analysis of Doubly censored data using Gibbs Sampler for the Incubation period
In standard time-to-event or survival analysis, the occurrence times of the event of interest are observed exactly or are right-censored. However in certain situations such as the AIDS data, the incubation period which is the time between HIV infection time and the diagnosis of AIDS is usually doubly censored. That is the HIV infection time is interval censored and also the time of the diagnosi...
متن کاملA multiple imputation approach to regression analysis for doubly censored data with application to AIDS studies.
Sun, Liao, and Pagano (1999) proposed an interesting estimating equation approach to Cox regression with doubly censored data. Here we point out that a modification of their proposal leads to a multiple imputation approach, where the double censoring is reduced to single censoring by imputing for the censored initiating times. For each imputed data set one can take advantage of many existing te...
متن کاملAccuracy evaluation of different statistical and geostatistical censored data imputation approaches (Case study: Sari Gunay gold deposit)
Most of the geochemical datasets include missing data with different portions and this may cause a significant problem in geostatistical modeling or multivariate analysis of the data. Therefore, it is common to impute the missing data in most of geochemical studies. In this study, three approaches called half detection (HD), multiple imputation (MI), and the cosimulation based on Markov model 2...
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 کاملA Bayesian analysis of doubly censored data using a hierarchical Cox model.
Two common statistical problems in pooling survival data from several studies are addressed. The first problem is that the data are doubly censored in that the origin is interval censored and the endpoint event may be right censored. Two approaches to incorporate the uncertainty of interval-censored origins are developed, and then compared with more usual analyses using imputation of a single f...
