Empirical Likelihood for Right Censored and Left Truncated data Jingyu (Julia) Luan University of Kentucky, Johns Hopkins University March 30, 2004 Outline of the Presentation: Part I: Introduction and Background Part II: Empirical Likelihood Theorem for Right-Censored and Left-Truncated Data Part III: Future Research Part I: Introduction and Background 1.1 Empirical Likelihood Ratio Test 1.2 Censoring and Truncation 1.3 Literature Review 1.4 Counting Process and Survival Analysis 1.1 Empirical Likelihood Ratio Test 1.1 Empirical Likelihood Ratio Test Parametric situation: Wilks (1938): -2logR has an asymptotic ?p2 distribution under null hypothesis.. 1.1 Empirical Likelihood Ratio Test Nonparametric situation: Empirical Likelihood is defined as (Owen 1988): 1.1 Empirical Likelihood Ratio Test Owen focused on studying the properties of the likelihood ratio function when F0 satisfies certain constraint, (the null hypothesis) 1.1 Empirical Likelihood Ratio Test Owen defined the empirical likelihood ratio function as 1.2 Censoring and Truncation Survival analysis is the analysis of time-to-event data. Two important features of time-to-event data: A. Censoring B. Truncation 1.2 Censoring and Truncation Censoring occurs when an individual’s life length is known to happen only in a certain period of time. A. Right Censoring B. Left Censoring C. Interval Censoring 1.2 Censoring and Truncation Truncation A. Left Truncation: it occurs when subjects enter a study at a particular time and are followed from this delayed entry time until the event happens or until the subject is censored; B. Right Truncation: it occurs when only individuals who have experienced the event of interest are included in the sample. 1.2 Censoring and Truncation Example of Right-Censored and Left-Truncated data: [Klein, Moeschberger, p65] In a survival study of the Channing House retirement center located in California, ages at
