Semiparametric Regression Under Left-Truncated and Interval-Censored Competing Risks Data and Missing Cause of Failure
… interval censoring, missing event types, and left truncation. Interval censoring occurs when the event time is not observed but is only known to lie between two observation times, such as clinic visits. Left truncation, also known as delayed entry, is the phenomenon where certain participants …

Contributions to Semiparametric Inference to Biased-Sampled and Financial Data
… unified approach through the special cases of left truncation, length-bias, the case-cohort design and variants thereof. Simulation studies and applications to real data sets are also presented.

Pricing index-linked catastrophe bonds via Monte Carlo simulation
… therefore also explores the issue of left-truncated data and its effect when estimating the parameters of the aggregate loss process. For this purpose, it introduces a non-parametric approach to compare, in sample, the results of ignoring the threshold and taking it into account. In …

Goodness-of-Fit for Length-Biased Survival Data with Right-Censoring
Cross-sectional surveys are often used in epidemiological studies to identify subjects with a disease. When estimating the survival function from onset of disease, this sampling mechanism introduces bias, which must be accounted for. If the onset times of the disease are assumed to be coming from a …
