Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 統計所 === 89 === In the thesis, we assume that the last stage of duration time for successive events follow a transformation model. It is known that the death are subject to dependent censoring. We examine the validity of existing methods, including the method proposed by Cheng, Wei and Ying (1995), under the current data structure. We also propose a new method for estimating the regression parameter. Finite-sample performance of these methods are investigated via simulations. Theoretical justification of the method is also briefly discussed.
