| 摘要 | Owing to the fact that general semiparametric inference procedures are still underdeveloped for multivariate interval-censored event time data, we propose semiparametric maximum likelihood estimation for the gamma-frailty Cox model under mixed-case interval censoring. We establish the consistency of the semiparametric maximum likelihood estimator (SPMLE) for the model parameters, including the regression coefficients and the cumulative hazard functions in the Cox model, and the variance of the gamma frailty. The SPMLEs of the cumulative hazard functions are shown to have a n 1/3 -rate of convergence, while those of the regression coefficients and the frailty variance have a n 1/2 -rate of convergence; here n denotes the number of study units. The asymptotic normality of the regression coefficients and the frailty variance is also established, with the asymptotic variance given by the inverse of the efficient Fisher information matrix. A profilelikelihood approach is proposed for estimating the asymptotic variance. Based on the self-consistency equations and the contraction principle, we propose a stable and efficient computation algorithm. Simulation results reveal that the large sample theories work quite well in finite samples. We analyze a dataset from an AIDS clinical trial by the proposed methods to assess the effects of the baseline CD4 cell counts on the times to CMV shedding in blood and urine. |
