The partially monotone tensor spline estimation of joint distribution function with bivariate current status data

The analysis of joint distribution function with bivariate event time data is a challenging problem both theoretically and numerically. This thesis develops a tensor splinebased nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation method to estimate the joint distribution function with bivariate current stat...
