Initial Conditions Problem in Event History Analysis: An Indirect Inference Procedure, LHC spells: the Bayesian approach and the direct likelihood approach. Both require strong assumptions about functional forms. This paper proposes an indirect inference procedure which uses simple simulation to correct the discrepancy of a maximum pseudo likelihood estimator.

Analysis of Survival Data under Competing Risks with Missing Cause of Death Information: Applicatioing for some cases. This method is compared to standard techniques over a range of missingness in failure type in a Hodgkin’s Disease data set and found to provide regression coefficients and inferences which were less biased than those from other methods.

Burn-in at the Component and System Level,ccelerated stresses, to remove weak items. Components surviving this test period are said to have been burned-in. Often this burn-in procedure is applied to systems. Under certain standard assumptions and various criteria, it is shown that a system burn-in is unnecessary, i.e., effective component burn-in precludes system burn-in.

Identification of Dependent Competing Risks Models,they take account of dependence between failure times in a multivariate failure time distribution context. We show that these models, independently derived, are special cases of a general frailty model. It is also demonstrated that the three models are identified.

A Parametric Approach to Measurement Errors in Receiver Operating Characteristic Studies,es are measured with error, the resulting area estimates will be biased downward. Bias-corrected estimators are found for normal and exponential models, and simulation studies demonstrate that the bias-corrected estimators have MSE comparable to the uncorrected estimators.

A Non-Parametric Two-Sample Survival Test Based on a Single Occupancy Fermi-Dirac Model for the Disarison to traditional measures focusing on central tendency, when survival advantages appear toward the latter part of a randomized 2-arm study. A recursive formula is used to calculate the exact cumulative probabilities for the distribution.

Universal Formulas for Treatment Effects from Noncompliance Data,ibution of assignments, treatments, and responses. Our results reveal that even with high rates of noncompliance, experimental data can yield significant and sometimes accurate information on the effect of a treatment on the population.
