Estimating Smooth Rates from Interval-Censored Data

Jutta Gampe, Hein Putter (Leiden University Medical Center, Netherlands), Paul Eilers (Erasmus Medical Center, Netherlands)

Flexible modeling of hazards is complicated when data are interval-censored so that neither event times nor exposures are available. We supplement an EM-type algorithm by a smoothing step to overcome these problems.  Detailed Description
