We propose a Bayesian nonparametric instrumental variable approach under additive separability that allows us to correct for endogeneity bias in regression models where the covariate effects enter with unknown functional form. Bias correction relies on a simultaneous equations specification with...

We aim at modeling the survival time of intensive care patients suffering from severe sepsis. The nature of the problem requires a flexible model that allows to extend the classical Cox-model via the inclusion of time-varying and nonparametric effects. These structured survival models are very...

Quantile regression has emerged as one of the standard tools for regression analysis that enables a proper assessment of the complete conditional distribution of responses even in the presence of heteroscedastic errors. Quantile regression estimates are obtained by minimising an asymmetrically...
