Nonparametric Estimation of Asymptomatic Duration from a Randomized Prospective Cancer Screening Trial
Nonparametric Estimation of Asymptomatic Duration from a Randomized Prospective Cancer Screening Trial
Summary We propose a nonparametric estimation of preclinical duration distribution in cancer based on data from a randomized early detection trial. In cancer screening studies, the preclinical duration of a disease is of great interest for better understanding the natural history of the disease, and for developing optimal screening strategies. …
