In many biomedical studies, identifying effects of covariate interactions on survival is a major goal. Important examples are treatment–subgroup interactions in clinical trials, and gene–gene or gene–environment interactions in genomic studies. A common problem when implementing a variable...

We consider the estimation of the parameters indexing a parametric model for the conditional distribution of a diagnostic marker given covariates and disease status. Such models are useful for the evaluation of whether and to what extent a marker's ability to accurately detect or discard disease...

We propose a new class of models for making inference about the mean of a vector of repeated outcomes when the outcome vector is incompletely observed in some study units and missingness is nonmonotone. Each model in our class is indexed by a set of unidentified selection-bias functions which...
