摘要：When treatment effects are studied in the context of successive or recurrent life events, separate analyses of the quality-of-life scores and of the inter-event, gap, times might lead to possibly contradictory conclusions. In an attempt to reconcile this, we propose a unitary and more comprehensive nonparametric analysis that combines the two separate analyses by introducing the quality-of-life-adjusted gap time concept. Inverse probability of censoring estimators of the quality-of-life-adjust...

摘要：Two existing density estimators based on local likelihood have properties that are comparable to those of local likelihood regression but they are much less used than their counterparts in regression. We consider truncation as a natural way of localising parametric density estimation. Based on this idea, a third local likelihood density estimator is introduced. Our main result establishes that the three estimators coincide when a free multiplicative constant is used as an extra local parameter.
