We propose a generalized method of moments approach to the accelerated failure time model with correlated survival data. We study the semiparametric rank estimator using martingale-based moments. We circumvent direct estimation of correlation parameters by concatenating the moments and...

Censored quantile regression offers a valuable complement to the traditional Cox proportional hazards model for survival analysis. Survival times tend to be right-skewed, particularly when there exists a substantial fraction of long-term survivors who are either cured or immune to the event of...

We consider a class of cure rate frailty models for multivariate failure time data with a survival fraction. This class is formulated through a transformation on the unknown population survival function. It incorporates random effects to account for the underlying correlation, and includes the...
