Abstract:

The authors proposed a smoothing estimation for regression parameters in the accelerated failure time model for clustered data. Under certain conditions, the proposed estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal. We designed a resampling method to estimate the asymptotic covariance matrix.

Key words: accelerated failure time model, clustered data, L-BFGS algorithm, polynomialbased smoothing, right censoring
