We propose new procedures for estimating the univariate quantities of interest in both additive and multiplicative nonparametric marker dependent hazard models. We work with a full counting process framework that allows for left truncation and right censoring. Our procedures are based on kernels...

We introduce a new method for the estimation of discount functions, yield curves and forward curves from government issued coupon bonds. Our approach is nonparametric and does not assume a particular functional form for the discount function although we do show how to impose various restrictions...

A semiparametric hazard model with parametrized time but general covariate dependency is formulated and analyzed inside the framework of counting process theory. A profile likelihood principle is introduced for estimation of the parameters: the resulting estimator is n1/2-consistent,...
