Title: Nonparametric Mixture Regression for Survival Data

Abstract:

We seek to develop a uni?ed fully nonparametric framework (uni?ed in that all functionals of interest are available through a single inferential process for response densities) for multivariate survival data in the presence of a regression component. We obtain inference for survival and hazard functions based on the conditional distribution for survival responses given covariates implied by a joint distribution mixture model. In addition, we present a general framework for applying our mixture models in treatment-control settings through use of two correlated random mixing distributions.
