Abstract:

In this article, we investigate the empirical likelihood method for the additive hazards regression model with current status data. An empirical likelihood ratio for the vector of regression parameters is defined and its limiting distribution is shown to be a standard chi-squared distribution. The proposed inference procedure enables us to make empirical likelihood based inference for the regression parameters. Finite sample performance of the proposed method is assessed in simulation studies to compare with that of a normal approximation based method. A real data example is used for illustration.
