Semiparametric Estimation of a Gaptime-Associated Hazard Function

This dissertation proposes a suite of novel Bayesian semiparametric estimators for a proportional hazard function associated with the gaptimes, or inter-arrival times, of a counting process in survival analysis. The Cox model is applied and extended in order to identify the subsequent effect of an e...
