The proportional hazards (PH) model is, arguably, the most popular model for the analysis of
lifetime data arising from epidemiological studies, among many others. In such applications …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive and polygenic disorder that affects millions of
individuals each year. Given that there have been few effective treatments yet for AD, it is …

Left-truncated data are often encountered in epidemiological cohort studies, where
individuals are recruited according to a certain cross-sectional sampling criterion. Length …

Interval-censored failure time data arise commonly in various scientific studies where the
failure time of interest is only known to lie in a certain time interval rather than observed …

In the field of failure analysis and reliability evaluation, truncated and censored lifetime data
due to observational constraints and periodic inspection schemes are highly common. The …

Time‐to‐event data in medical studies may involve some patients who are cured and will
never experience the event of interest. In practice, those cured patients are right censored …

Interval sampling is often used in epidemiological studies. With interval sampling, data are
collected only from individuals who fail within a certain calendar time interval. Such interval …

Interval‐censored data often arise in prospective studies involving periodical follow‐up for
monitoring the failure event occurrence. In addition to censoring, left truncation also occurs if …

Semi-parametric transformation models provide a general and flexible class of models for
regression analysis of failure time data and many methods have been developed for their …

It is not unusual to have outliers and multicollinearity simultaneously in censored
semiparametric linear models. In this paper for dealing with multicollinearity and outliers we …
