A question of significant interest in female reproductive aging is to identify bleeding criteria for the menopausal transition. Although various bleeding criteria, or markers, have been proposed for the menopausal transition, their validity has not been adequately examined. The Tremin Trust data...

In the analysis of bivariate correlated failure time data, it is important to measure the strength of association among the correlated failure times. One commonly used measure is the cross ratio. Motivated by Cox's partial likelihood idea, we propose a novel parametric cross ratio estimator that...

In large cohort studies, it often happens that some covariates are expensive to measure and hence only measured on a validation set. On the other hand, relatively cheap but error-prone measurements of the covariates are available for all subjects. Regression calibration (RC) estimation method (...

Surrogate outcome data arise frequently in medical research. The true outcomes of interest are expensive or hard to ascertain, but measurements of surrogate outcomes (or more generally speaking, the correlates of the true outcomes) are usually available. In this paper we assume that the...
