β¦ Synopsis
We investigate the asymptotic relationships among three kernel assisted semiparametric estimators in regression analysis when some covariates are missing or measured with error. Smoothing techniques are employed in estimating the selection probabilities and the conditionally expected scores, a step which is required to obtain the estimators of interest. The asymptotic distributional properties of these estimators are derived and their asymptotic equivalence is shown. Some important di erences are also noted. Furthermore, the asymptotic e ciency of the estimators relative to the usual maximum likelihood estimator is obtained.

Recently, regression analysis of the cumulative incidence function has gained interest in competing risks data analysis, through the model proposed by Fine and Gray (JASA 1999; 94: 496-509). In this note, we point out that inclusion of time-dependent covariates in this model can lead to serious bias
