This paper uses a game theoretic model to capture the interactions among individuals within a social network, and establishes nonparametric identification and inference on the game structural model. Consider observations from a single equilibrium of a network game in which each player chooses an...

This paper introduces a novel approach to making inference about the regression parameters in the accelerated failure time (AFT) model for current status and interval censored data. The estimator is constructed by inverting a Wald type test for testing a null proportional hazards model. A...

In the analysis of dependence of bivariate correlated failure time data, a popular model is a gamma frailty model proposed by Clayton and Oakes. An alternative approach is using a Plackett distribution, whose dependence parameter has a very appealing odds ratio interpretation for dependence...

A natural choice of time scale for analyzing recurrent event data is the ``gap" (or soujourn) time between successive events. In many situations it is reasonable to assume correlation exists between the successive events experienced by a given subject. This paper looks at the problem of...

In this paper, we discuss Bayesian inference of unobserved heterogeneity for unemployment duration data in the presence of right and interval-censoring, and non-proportionality. We employ accelerated failure time models with three different distributional assumptions: log-logistic, log-normal,...

Models for survival data generally assume that covariates are fully observed. However, in medical studies it is not uncommon for biomarkers to be censored at known detection limits. A computationally-efficient multiple imputation procedure for modeling survival data with covariates subject to...

As a generalization of the accelerated failure time models, we consider parametric models of lifetime Y, where the conditional mean E(Y|X;beta) can depend nonlinearly on the covariates X and some parameters beta. The error distribution can be heteroscedastic and dependent on X. With observed...
