基于不完全观测的生存函数的非参数估计

NONPARAMETRIC ESTIMATION OF SURVIVAL FUNCTION FROM INCOMPLETE OBSERVATIONS

  • 摘要: 基于随机右删失数据,Tsai,Ferguson及Susarla等研究了一元生存函数的广义自相合估计及非参数Bayes估计。本文首先将其结果推广到了相依竞争风险场合,进一步探讨了将独立双边删失机制推广到相依双边删失机制的问题,并通过一个实例说明这种推广是有意义的。

     

    Abstract: Tsai, Ferguson, Susarla and van Ryzin studied the generalized self-consistent estimator and nonparametric Bayesian estimator of survival function from incomplete observations. In this paper we generalized the results to dependent competing risks model and show that these estimators have similar large sample properties. We derive a integral equation which relates the survival functions of X0, L, R to the joint distribution functions of Y and δ under the dependent doubly censorship model. The solution \hatS^0(t) can be calculated numerically by using the EM algorithm or by the Newton-Raphson method.
