Semiparametric copula method for semi-competing risks data subject to interval censoring and left truncation: Application to disability in elderly
Tao Sun, Yunlong Li, Zhengyan Xiao, Ying Ding & Xiaojun Wang
We aim to evaluate the marginal effects of covariates on time-to-disability in the elderly under the semi-competing risks framework, as death dependently censors disability, not vice versa. It becomes particularly challenging when time-to-disability is subject to interval censoring due to intermittent assessments. A left truncation issue arises when the age time scale is applied. We develop a flexible two-parameter copula-based semiparametric transformation model for semi-competing risks data subject to interval censoring and left truncation. The...
