Several non-parametric test procedures have been proposed for incomplete survival data: interval-censored failure time data. However, most of them have unknown asymptotic properties with heuristically derived and/or complicated variance estimation. This article presents a class of generalized...

Variable selection is an important issue in all regression analyses, and in this paper we discuss this in the context of regression analysis of panel count data. Panel count data often occur in long-term studies that concern occurrence rate of a recurrent event, and their analysis has recently...

We consider large sample inference in a semiparametric logistic/proportional-hazards mixture model. This model has been proposed to model survival data where there exists a positive portion of subjects in the population who are not susceptible to the event under consideration. Previous studies...

Multivariate failure time data frequently occur in medical studies and the dependence or association among survival variables is often of interest ("Biometrics", <b>51</b>, 1995, 1384; "Stat. Med.", <b>18</b>, 1999, 3101; "Biometrika", <b>87</b>, 2000, 879; "J. Roy. Statist. Soc. Ser. B", <b>65</b>, 2003, 257). We study the problem...
