Hazard regression with interval-censored data.

Regression Analysis of Case Ii Interval-censored Failure Time Data with the Additive Hazards Model.

Interval-censored failure time data often arise in clinical trials and medical follow-up studies, and a few methods have been proposed for their regression analysis using various regression models (Finkelstein (1986); Huang (1996); Lin, Oakes, and Ying (1998); Sun (2006)). This paper proposes an estimating equation-based approach for regression analysis of interval-censored failure time data wi...

Cox Regression for Current Status Data with Missing Covariates

Statistical inference based on the right-censored data for proportional hazard (PH) model with missing covariates has received considerable attention, but interval-censored or current status data with missing covariates are not yet investigated. Our study is partly motivated by analysis of fracture data from a cross-sectional study, where the ocurrence time of fracture was interval-censored and...

Prediction Based on Type-II Censored Coherent System Lifetime Data under a Proportional Reversed Hazard Rate Model

In this paper, we discuss the prediction problem based on censored coherent system lifetime data when the system structure is known and the component lifetime follows the proportional reversed hazard model. Different point and interval predictors based on classical and Bayesian approaches are derived. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the prediction methods used in this paper. Mont...

Nonparametric and Semiparametric Methods for Interval-censored Failure Time Data

Interval-censored failure time data commonly arise in follow-up studies such as clinical trials and epidemiology studies. For their analysis, what interests researcher most includes comparisons of survival functions for different groups and regression analysis. This dissertation, which consists of three parts, consider these problems on two types of interval-censored data by using nonparametric...
