Credible intervals and bootstrap confidence intervals in monotone regression

Piet Groeneboom, Geurt Jongbloed

In the recent paper [5], a Bayesian approach for constructing confidence intervals in monotone regression problems is proposed, based on credible intervals. We view this method fro…

Confidence intervals in monotone regression

Piet Groeneboom, Geurt Jongbloed

We construct bootstrap confidence intervals for a monotone regression function. It has been shown that the ordinary nonparametric bootstrap, based on the nonparametric least square…

Bayesian nonparametric estimation in the current status continuous mark model

Geurt Jongbloed, Frank van der Meulen, Lixue Pang

In this paper we consider the current status continuous mark model where, if the event takes place before an inspection time a "continuous mark" variable is observed as well. A…

Nonparametric Bayesian estimation of a concave distribution function with mixed interval censored data

Geurt Jongbloed, Frank van der Meulen, Lixue Pang

Assume we observe a finite number of inspection times together with information on whether a specific event has occurred before each of these times. Suppose replicated measurements…

On the identifiability of copulas in bivariate competing risks models

Maik Schwarz, Geurt Jongbloed, Ingrid Van Keilegom

In competing risks models, the joint distribution of the event times is not identifiable even when the margins are fully known, which has been referred to as the "identifiability c…

A maximum smoothed likelihood estimator in the current status continuous mark model

Piet Groeneboom, Geurt Jongbloed, Birgit Witte

We consider the problem of estimating the joint distribution function of the event time and a continuous mark variable based on censored data. More specifically, the event time is…

Smooth and non-smooth estimates of a monotone hazard

Piet Groeneboom, Geurt Jongbloed

We discuss a number of estimates of the hazard under the assumption that the hazard is monotone on an interval [0,a]. The usual isotonic least squares estimators of the hazard are…

Isotonic L_2-projection test for local monotonicity of a hazard

Piet Groeneboom, Geurt Jongbloed

We introduce a new test statistic for testing the null hypothesis that the sampling distribution has an increasing hazard rate on a specified interval [0,a]. It is based on a compa…

Testing monotonicity of a hazard: asymptotic distribution theory

Piet Groeneboom, Geurt Jongbloed

Two new test statistics are introduced to test the null hypotheses that the sampling distribution has an increasing hazard rate on a specified interval [0,a]. These statistics are…
