Nonparametric conditional hazard rate estimation: A local linear approach

Abstract: Parametric and semiparametric methods often fail to capture the right shape of the conditional hazard rate in survival analysis. In this paper we propose a new and intuitive nonparametric estimator for the conditional hazard rate, based on local linear estimation techniques. This estimator can deal with both censored and uncensored data. We show that the local linear hazard rate estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal distributed. Moreover, we derive plug-in bandwidths based on normal and uniform ref… Show more

“…However, this shouldn't cause much concern, as firstly, the result proved in Gonzalez-Manteigaa and Cadarso-Suarez (1994) on the local K-M estimator (6) doesn't rely on the positivity of B nk (.). Secondly, in practice, a simple truncation can always be applied to ensure 0 ≤Ĝ n (.|x) ≤ 1; see Spierdijk (2008) for a similar observation.…”

“…We consider four two-dimensional hazards. The first two were also considered in Nielsen (1998) and the other two were also considered in Spierdijk (2008). The assumed true hazard rates are:…”

“…The objectives we pursue through simulation experiments are twofold: (1) to compare the local linear (LL) estimator with the local linear and local constant (LLLC) estimator that generalises the estimator by Spierdijk (2008), and (2) to evaluate the performance of the two bandwidth selectors described in Section 3, namely the cross-validation bandwidth b CV and the do-validation bandwidth b DO . To achieve the first objective we provide a numerical comparison in two scenarios.…”

“…Many references, practical examples and simulations in the case of non parametric estimation using local linear approximations can be found in Spierdijk [28]. The main aim of this paper, is to study, under general conditions, the asymptotic proprieties of the functional data kernel estimate of the conditional hazard function introduced by Ferraty et al [12].…”
