Abstract: | Suppose that subjects in a population follow the model f ( y * x *; ) where y * denotes a response, x * denotes a vector of covariates and is the parameter to be estimated. We consider response-biased sampling, in which a subject is observed with a probability which is a function of its response. Such response-biased sampling frequently occurs in econometrics, epidemiology and survey sampling. The semiparametric maximum likelihood estimate of is derived, along with its asymptotic normality, efficiency and variance estimates. The estimate proposed can be used as a maximum partial likelihood estimate in stratified response-selective sampling. Some computation algorithms are also provided. |
