Abstract: | AbstractBased on the approach of Pan and Zhou, we demonstrate that empirical likelihood ratios in terms of cumulative hazard function for left-truncated and right-censored (LTRC) data can be used to form confidence intervals for the parameters that are linear functionals of the cumulative hazard function. Simulation studies indicate that the empirical likelihood ratio based confidence intervals work well in finite samples. |
