Nonparametric Sieve Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Semi-Competing Risks Data

In biomedical studies involving time-to-event data, a subject may experience distinct types of events. We consider the problem of estimating the transition functions for a semi-competing risks model under illness-death model framework. We propose to estimate the intensity functions by maximizing a B...
