In this paper, we propose a new estimation method for randomly right censored varying coefficient models and establish the asymptotic normality of the resulting estimator. Compared to the existing estimation method, the proposed estimation method is computationally simple and practically feasible since it requires no transformation of data. Simulation studies are conducted to assess the finite sample performance of the proposed estimation method against that of the existing estimation method. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed estimation method performs much better than the existing estimation method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
