Book Missing and Modified Data in Nonparametric Estimation

Download or read book Missing and Modified Data in Nonparametric Estimation written by Sam Efromovich and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a systematic and unified approach for modern nonparametric treatment of missing and modified data via examples of density and hazard rate estimation, nonparametric regression, filtering signals, and time series analysis. All basic types of missing at random and not at random, biasing, truncation, censoring, and measurement errors are discussed, and their treatment is explained. Ten chapters of the book cover basic cases of direct data, biased data, nondestructive and destructive missing, survival data modified by truncation and censoring, missing survival data, stationary and nonstationary time series and processes, and ill-posed modifications. The coverage is suitable for self-study or a one-semester course for graduate students with a prerequisite of a standard course in introductory probability. Exercises of various levels of difficulty will be helpful for the instructor and self-study. The book is primarily about practically important small samples. It explains when consistent estimation is possible, and why in some cases missing data should be ignored and why others must be considered. If missing or data modification makes consistent estimation impossible, then the author explains what type of action is needed to restore the lost information. The book contains more than a hundred figures with simulated data that explain virtually every setting, claim, and development. The companion R software package allows the reader to verify, reproduce and modify every simulation and used estimators. This makes the material fully transparent and allows one to study it interactively. Sam Efromovich is the Endowed Professor of Mathematical Sciences and the Head of the Actuarial Program at the University of Texas at Dallas. He is well known for his work on the theory and application of nonparametric curve estimation and is the author of Nonparametric Curve Estimation: Methods, Theory, and Applications. Professor Sam Efromovich is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the American Statistical Association.

Book Statistical Analysis of Panel Count Data

Download or read book Statistical Analysis of Panel Count Data written by Jianguo Sun and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-09 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Panel count data occur in studies that concern recurrent events, or event history studies, when study subjects are observed only at discrete time points. By recurrent events, we mean the event that can occur or happen multiple times or repeatedly. Examples of recurrent events include disease infections, hospitalizations in medical studies, warranty claims of automobiles or system break-downs in reliability studies. In fact, many other fields yield event history data too such as demographic studies, economic studies and social sciences. For the cases where the study subjects are observed continuously, the resulting data are usually referred to as recurrent event data. This book collects and unifies statistical models and methods that have been developed for analyzing panel count data. It provides the first comprehensive coverage of the topic. The main focus is on methodology, but for the benefit of the reader, the applications of the methods to real data are also discussed along with numerical calculations. There exists a great deal of literature on the analysis of recurrent event data. This book fills the void in the literature on the analysis of panel count data. This book provides an up-to-date reference for scientists who are conducting research on the analysis of panel count data. It will also be instructional for those who need to analyze panel count data to answer substantive research questions. In addition, it can be used as a text for a graduate course in statistics or biostatistics that assumes a basic knowledge of probability and statistics.

It provides the first comprehensive coverage of the topic of interval-censored data and complements the books on right-censored data. The focus of the book is on nonparametric and semiparametric inferences, but it also describes parametric and imputation approaches. This book provides an up-to-date reference for people who are conducting research on the analysis of interval-censored failure time data as well as for those who need to analyze interval-censored data to answer substantive questions.

Book Parametric and Semiparametric Models with Applications to Reliability  Survival Analysis  and Quality of Life

Download or read book Parametric and Semiparametric Models with Applications to Reliability Survival Analysis and Quality of Life written by M.S. Nikulin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parametric and semiparametric models are tools with a wide range of applications to reliability, survival analysis, and quality of life. This self-contained volume examines these tools in survey articles written by experts currently working on the development and evaluation of models and methods. While a number of chapters deal with general theory, several explore more specific connections and recent results in "real-world" reliability theory, survival analysis, and related fields. Specific topics covered include: * cancer prognosis using survival forests * short-term health problems related to air pollution: analysis using semiparametric generalized additive models * semiparametric models in the studies of aging and longevity This book will be of use as a reference text for general statisticians, theoreticians, graduate students, reliability engineers, health researchers, and biostatisticians working in applied probability and statistics.

Book Semiparametric Estimators for the Regression Coefficients in the Linear Transformation Competing Risks Models with Missing Cause of Failure

Download or read book Semiparametric Estimators for the Regression Coefficients in the Linear Transformation Competing Risks Models with Missing Cause of Failure written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many clinical studies, researchers are mainly interested in studying the effects of some prognostic factors on the hazard of failure from a specific cause while individuals may failure from multiple causes. This leads to a competing risks problem. Often, due to various reasons such as finite study duration, loss to follow-up, or withdrawal from the study, the time-to-failure is right-censored for some individuals. Although the proportional hazards model has been commonly used in analyzing survival data, there are circumstances where other models are more appropriate. Here we consider the class of linear transformation models that contains the proportional hazards model and the proportional odds model as special cases. Sometimes, patients are known to die but the cause of death is unavailable. It is well known that when cause of failure is missing, ignoring the observations with missing cause or treating them as censored may result in erroneous inferences. Under the Missing At Random assumption, we propose two methods to estimate the regression coefficients in the linear transformation models. The augmented inverse probability weighting method is highly efficient and doubly robust. In addition, it allows the possibility of using auxiliary covariates to model the missing mechanism. The multiple imputation method is very efficient, is straightforward and easy to implement and also allows for the use of auxiliary covariates. The asymptotic properties of these estimators are developed using theory of counting processes and semiparametric theory for missing data problems. Simulation studies demonstrate the relevance of the theory in finite samples. These methods are also illustrated using data from a breast cancer stage II clinical trial.
