Abstract:

Interval sampling and two-phase sampling have both been advocated for studying rare failure outcome. However, they are often studied separately in the statistical literature. We consider efficient estimation of interval-censored data collected in a general two-phase sampling design using a localized nonparametric likelihood. An expectation maximization algorithm is proposed by exploiting multiple layers of data augmentation that handle transformation function, interval censoring, and two-phase sampling structure simultaneously. We study the asymptotic properties of the estimators and conduct inference using profile likelihood. We illustrate the performance of the proposed estimator by simulations and an HIV vaccine trial.
