This is in contrast to fixed change points in piecewise constant hazard models, where the timing of hazard rate change remains the same for all subjects. However, currently there is a lack of appropriate statistical methods to effectively tackle this particular issue. This article presents novel statistical methods that aim to characterize these complex survival models. These methods allow for the estimation of important features such as the probability of an event occurring and being censored, and the expected number of events within the clinical trial, prior to any specific time, and within specific time intervals. They also derive expected survival time and parametric expected survival and hazard functions for subjects with any finite number of RCPs. Simulation studies validate these methods and demonstrate their reliability and effectiveness. Real clinical data from an oncology trial is also used to apply these methods. The applications of these methods in oncology trials are extensive, including estimating hazard rates and rate parameters of RCPs, assessing treatment switching, delayed onset of immunotherapy, and subsequent anticancer therapies. They also have value in clinical trial planning, monitoring, and sample size adjustment. The expected parametric survival and hazard functions provide a thorough understanding of the behaviors and effects of RCPs in complex survival models.</p>","PeriodicalId":51166,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Papers","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140883339","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}

It is well known that such a problem is an ill-posed stochastic inverse problem. Hence, a special interest has to be devoted to the stability issue in the design of an estimator for solving such a problem. Our proposed estimators are based on combining a stable least-squares technique and a random projection of the slope function <span>(beta _0(cdot )in L^2(J),)</span> where <i>J</i> is a compact interval. Moreover, these estimators have the advantage of having a fairly good convergence rate with reasonable computational load, since the involved random projections are generally performed over a fairly small dimensional subspace of <span>(L^2(J).)</span> More precisely, the first estimator is given as a least-squares solution of a regularized minimization problem over a finite dimensional subspace of <span>(L^2(J).)</span> In particular, we give an upper bound for the empirical risk error as well as the convergence rate of this estimator. The second proposed stable LFR estimator is based on combining the least-squares technique with a dyadic decomposition of the i.i.d. samples of the stochastic process, associated with the LFR model. In particular, we provide an <span>(L^2)</span>-risk error of this second LFR estimator. Finally, we provide some numerical simulations on synthetic as well as on real data that illustrate the results of this work.

However, in most applications the real purpose of the analysis is to assess evidence in favor of a practically relevant effect, rather than simply determining its presence/absence. This discrepancy leads to erroneous inferential conclusions, especially in case of moderate or large sample size. In particular, statistical significance, as commonly evaluated on the basis of a precise hypothesis low <i>p</i> value, bears little or no information on practical significance. This paper presents an innovative approach to the problem of testing the practical relevance of effects. This relies upon the proposal of a general method for modifying standard tests by making them suitable to deal with appropriate interval null hypotheses containing all practically irrelevant effect sizes. In addition, when it is difficult to specify exactly which effect sizes are irrelevant we provide the researcher with a benchmark value. Acceptance/rejection can be established purely by deciding on the (ir)relevance of this value. We illustrate our proposal in the context of many important testing setups, and we apply the proposed methods to two case studies in clinical medicine.

However, the majority of the existing dimension reduction methods such as the functional principal component and fixed basis expansion are unsupervised and typically result in information loss. Then, the functional time series model has an urgent need for a supervised dimension reduction method. The functional sufficient dimension reduction method is a supervised technique that adequately exploits the regression structure information, resulting in minimal information loss. Functional sliced inverse regression (FSIR) is the most popular functional sufficient dimension reduction method, but it cannot be applied directly to functional time series model. In this paper, we examine a functional time series model in which the response is a scalar time series and the explanatory variable is functional time series. We propose a novel supervised dimension reduction technique for the regression model by combining the FSIR and blind source separation methods.

If previous data is available, or the distribution of the deviation between the measurements and the mean is known, it is possible to perform such estimation by using L-statistics, whose optimal linear coefficients, typically referred to as weights, are derived from a minimization of the mean squared error. However, such optimal weights can only manage sample sizes equal to the one used to derive them, while in real-world scenarios this size might slightly change. Therefore, this paper proposes a method to overcome such a limitation and derive approximations of flexible-dimensional optimal weights. To do so, a parametric family of functions based on extreme value reductions and amplifications is proposed to be adjusted to the cumulative optimal weights of a given sample from a symmetric distribution. Then, the application of Yager’s method to derive weights for ordered weighted average (OWA) operators allows computing the approximate optimal weights for sample sizes close to the original one. This method is justified from the theoretical point of view by proving a convergence result regarding the cumulative weights obtained for different sample sizes. Finally, the practical performance of the theoretical results is shown for several classical symmetric distributions.</p>","PeriodicalId":51166,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Papers","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140573737","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}
