Semiparametric maximum likelihood estimation in normal transformation models for bivariate survival data

Semiparametric maximum likelihood estimation in normal transformation models for bivariate survival data

We consider a class of semiparametric normal transformation models for right-censored bivariate failure times. Nonparametric hazard rate models are transformed to a standard normal model and a joint normal distribution is assumed for the bivariate vector of transformed variates. A semiparametric maximum likelihood estimation procedure is developed for estimating the …
