Flexible Estimation of Differences in Treatment-Specific Recurrent Event Means in the Presence of a Terminating Event

Pan, Qing; Schaubel, Douglas E. - 2009

In this article, we consider the setting where the event of interest can occur repeatedly for the same subject (i.e., a recurrent event; e.g., hospitalization) and may be stopped permanently by a terminating event (e.g., death). Among the different ways to model recurrent/terminal event data,...

Semiparametric Analysis of Recurrent Events Data in the Presence of Dependent Censoring

Ghosh, Debashis; Lin, D. Y. - 2003

Dependent censoring occurs in longitudinal studies of recurrent events when the censoring time depends on the potentially unobserved recurrent event times. To perform regression analysis in this setting, we propose a semiparametric joint model that formulates the marginal distributions of the...

Omnibus Tests for Comparison of Competing Risks with Covariate Effects via Additive Risk Model

Nguyen, Duytrac Vu - 2007

It is of interest that researchers study competing risks in which subjects may fail from any one of K causes. Comparing any two competing risks with covariate effects is very important in medical studies. This thesis develops omnibus tests for comparing cause-specific hazard rates and cumulative...

Effects of a Misattributed Cause of Death on Cancer Mortality.

Ha, Jinkyung - 2011

The cause for the observed trends in prostate cancer mortality is unclear. Several authors have indicated that incorrectly classified causes of death have played a role in recent mortality trends. This dissertation is devoted to analyzing competing risks survival data with a misclassified cause...

Las reformas de la Ley concursal durante la Gran Recesión

García-Posada, Miguel; Vegas Sánchez, Raquel - 2016

Tradicionalmente, los concursos de acreedores en España han sido procedimientos largos y costosos, que casi siempre terminaban en la liquidación de la empresa concursada (95 %). Estas disfuncionalidades quedaron en evidencia con el fuerte aumento de los concursos de acreedores durante la...

Semiparametric Estimators for the Regression Coefficients inthe Linear Transformation Competing Risks Models with Missing Causeof Failure

Gao, Guozhi - 2006

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...

An application of the two-stage, semi-parametric approach with double bootstrap to analyze technical efficiency of Critical Access Hospitals

Nedelea, I. Cristian; Fannin, James Matthew - 2011

This study examines technical efficiency of Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) using a two-stage approach and bootstrap … second stage, efficiency scores are regressed on environmental variables using a truncated regression with bootstrap …. Alternatively, a double bootstrap procedure is used, where bias-corrected DEA efficiency scores, obtained by means of bootstrap in …

A two-stage productivity analysis using bootstrapped Malmquist index and quantile regression

Kaditi, Eleni A.; Nitsi, Elisavet I. - 2009

This paper examines the effects of farm characteristics and government policies in enhancing productivity growth for a sample of Greek farms, using a two-stage procedure. In the 1st-stage, non-parametric estimates of Malmquist index and its decompositions are computed, while a bootstrapping...
