In the outbreak of a novel infectious disease, accurate evaluation of the incubation period distribution is critical for designing effective prevention and control measures . Estimation of the incubation period distribution based on limited information from retrospective inspection of infected cases is highly challenging due to censoring and truncation. In this paper, we consider a semiparametric regression model for the incubation period and propose a sieve maximum likelihood approach for estimation based on the symptom onset time, travel history, and basic demographics of reported cases. The approach properly accounts for the pandemic growth and selection bias in data collection. We also develop an efficient computation method and establish the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators. We demonstrate the feasibility and advantages of the proposed methods through extensive simulation studies and provide an application to a dataset on the outbreak of COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":49908,"journal":{"name":"Lifetime Data Analysis","volume":"29 1","pages":"87-114"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9281361/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9211107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, a large family of asymmetric distributions and maximum likelihood estimation for the parameters in that family has been studied, in the complete data case. In this paper, we exploit the appealing family of quantile-based asymmetric distributions to obtain flexible distributions for modelling right censored survival data. The flexible distributions can be generated using a variety of symmetric distributions and monotonic link functions. The interesting feature of this family is that the location parameter coincides with an index-parameter quantile of the distribution. This family is also suitable to characterize different shapes of the hazard function (constant, increasing, decreasing, bathtub and upside-down bathtub or unimodal shapes). Statistical inference is done for the whole family of distributions. The parameter estimation is carried out by optimizing a non-differentiable likelihood function. The asymptotic properties of the estimators are established. The finite-sample performance of the proposed method and the impact of censorship are investigated via simulations. Finally, the methodology is illustrated on two real data examples (times to weaning in breast-fed data and German Breast Cancer data).","PeriodicalId":49908,"journal":{"name":"Lifetime Data Analysis","volume":"29 1","pages":"34-65"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9196524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To discover optimal treatment regimens for such an outcome, we propose a semiparametric proportional hazards model by incorporating the interaction between treatment and a single index of covariates through an unknown monotone link function. This model is flexible enough to allow non-linear treatment-covariate interactions and yet provides a clinically interpretable linear rule for treatment decision. We propose a sieve maximum likelihood estimation approach, under which the baseline hazard function is estimated nonparametrically and the unknown link function is estimated via monotone quadratic B-splines. We show that the resulting estimators are consistent and asymptotically normal with a covariance matrix that attains the semiparametric efficiency bound. The optimal treatment rule follows naturally as a linear combination of the maximum likelihood estimators of the model parameters. Through extensive simulation studies and an application to an AIDS clinical trial, we demonstrate that the treatment rule derived from the single-index model outperforms the treatment rule under the standard Cox proportional hazards model.","PeriodicalId":49908,"journal":{"name":"Lifetime Data Analysis","volume":"28 4","pages":"744-763"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10349573/pdf/nihms-1913037.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9775484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Time to PSA recurrence is an example of a survival time that is typically interval-censored between two consecutive clinical inspections with opposite test results. In addition, success of medical devices and technologies often depends on factors such as experience and skill level of the medical service providers, thus leading to clustering of these survival times. For analyzing the effects of surgery types and other covariates on median of clustered interval-censored time to post-surgery PSA recurrence, we present three competing novel models and associated frequentist and Bayesian analyses. The first model is based on a transform-both-sides of survival time with Gaussian random effects to account for the within-cluster association. Our second model assumes an approximate marginal Laplace distribution for the transformed log-survival times with a Gaussian copula to accommodate clustering. Our third model is a special case of the second model with Laplace distribution for the marginal log-survival times and Gaussian copula for the within-cluster association. Simulation studies establish the second model to be highly robust against extreme observations while estimating median regression coefficients. We provide a comprehensive comparison among these three competing models based on the model properties and the computational ease of their Frequentist and Bayesian analysis. We also illustrate the practical implementations and uses of these methods via analysis of a simulated clustered interval-censored data-set similar in design to a post-surgery PSA recurrence study.","PeriodicalId":49908,"journal":{"name":"Lifetime Data Analysis","volume":" ","pages":"723-743"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40605557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
