In the analysis of cancer data, it is important to make inferences of survival function and to assess the effects of covariates. Cox's proportional hazard model(PHM) and Beran's nonparametric method are generally used to estimate the survival function with covariates. We adjusted the incomplete survival time using the Buckley and James's(1979) pseudo random variables, and then proposed the estimator for the conditional survival function. Also, we carried out the simulation studies to compare the performances of the proposed method.

In this paper, we consider two components system in which the lifetimes follow the bivariate Pareto model with random censored data. We assume that the censoring time is independent of the lifetimes of the two components. We develop large sample tests for testing independence between two components. Also we present simulated study which is the test based on asymptotic normal distribution in testing independence.

This paper presents the asymptotic relative efficiency of the nonparametric estimator relative to the parametric maximum likelihood estimator of the reliability function under the proportional hazards model of random censorship. Also we examine the efficiency loss due to censoring proportions and misson times.

Mixed linear models have been widely used in various correlated data including multivariate survival data. In this paper we extend hierarchical-likelihood(h-likelihood) approach for mixed linear models with right censored data to that for left censored data. We also allow a general random-effect structure and propose the estimation procedure. The proposed method is illustrated using a numerical data set and is also compared with marginal likelihood method.

In this paper we considered the problem of estimating the bivariate survival distribution of the random vector (X, Y) when Y may be subject to random censoring but X is always uncensored. Adapting conditional Koziol-Green model, simplified estimator for bivariate survival function is proposed. We perform simulation to compare the proposed estimator with popular estimators and discussed the performance of it.

In this paper, we consider two components system which the lifetimes follow bivariate pareto model with bivariate random censored data. We assume that the censoring times are independent of the lifetimes of the two components. We develop large sample test for testing independence between two components. Also we present a simulation study which is the test based on asymptotic normal distribution in testing independence.

In this paper, we consider two-components system which the lifetimes have a bivariate Weibull distribution with bivariate random censored data. Here the bivariate censoring times are independent of the lifetimes of the components. We obtain estimators and approximated confidence intervals for the reliability of series system based on likelihood function and relative frequency, respectively. Also we present a numerical study.

This paper deals with problems of predicting, based on the random censored sampling, a future observation and the p-th order statistic of n' future observations for the Rayleigh model. We consider the prediction intervals for the Rayleigh model with respect to an inverse gamma prior distribution. In additions, numerical examples are given in order to illustrate the proposed predictive procedure.

This paper presents accelerated life tests for Type I censoring data under probabilistic stresses. Probabilistic stress, $S_j$, is the random variable for stress influenced by test environments, test equipments, sampling devices and use conditions. The hazard rate, ,$theta_j$, is the random variable of environments and the function of probabilistic stress. Also it is assumed that the general stress distribution is uniform, the life distribution for the given hazard rate, $\theta$, is exponential and inverse power law model holds. In this paper, we obtained maximum likelihood estimators of model parameters and the mean life in use stress condition.

In this paper we propose a mixed effects least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) for the censored data which are observed from different groups. We use weights by which the randomly right censoring is taken into account in the nonlinear regression. The weights are formed with Kaplan-Meier estimates of censoring distribution. In the proposed model a random effects term representing inter-group variation is included. Furthermore generalized cross validation function is proposed for the selection of the optimal values of hyper-parameters. Experimental results are then presented which indicate the performance of the proposed LS-SVM by comparing with a standard LS-SVM for the censored data.
