Abstract:

Maximum approximate Bernstein likelihood estimates of density function and regression coefficients in the proportional hazard regression models based on interval-censored data are proposed and studied. A smooth estimate of the survival function with a bootstrap confidence interval is then obtained. Simulation study is conducted to show the finite sample performance of the proposed method. The proposed method is illustrated by real data applications.
