Title: Statistical Analysis of Current Status Data with Informative Observation Times

Abstract:

Current status data arise when each study subject is observed only once and the survival time of interest is known only to be less or greater than the observation time. Such data often occur in, for example, cross-sectional studies, demographical investigations and tumorgenecity experiments. This paper discusses regression analysis of current status data when observation times may be related to the underlying survival time. Inference procedures are proposed for estimating regression parameters under the additive hazards regression model. The procedures can be easily implemented and the properties of the proposed estimates of regression parameters are given. An illustrative example is discussed.
