THE NPMLE of the joint distribution function with right-censored and masked competing risks data

Assessing the reliability of components with micro- and nano-structures when they are part a multi-scale system

“…Crowder [7] provides a recent review of competing risks problem and Sen et al [8] and Flehinger et al [9] provide review of masking problem. For more references see also [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] and many references cited there.…”

LOESS smoothed density estimates for multivariate survival data subject to censoring and masking

“…Wang et al (2012) proposed a new model for the NPMLE of intervalcensored and masked competing risks data, the random partition masking model, which does not rely on the assumption that masked failure causes are independent of failure time. Yu & Li (2012, 2014 examined the NPMLE proposed by Dinse (1982); they concluded that the NPMLE was inconsistent and not unique and they introduced a consistent NPMLE of the joint distribution function with right-censored and masked competing risks data under another new model (the dependent masking and right-censoring model).…”
