Abstract

When analyzing biological data sets, a frequent problem is to estimate the __p__th quantile of a distribution, when that quantile is assumed to depend on a covariate; in the present paper the dependence of the quantile on the covariate is assumed to be monotonic. Some properties of an isotonic __p__th quantile regression, considered as an estimator of an increasing __p__th quantile function, are presented.

Let (T 1 , T 2 ) be gap times corresponding to two consecutive events, which are observed subject to random right-censoring. In this paper, a semiparametric estimator of the bivariate distribution function of (T 1 , T 2 ) and, more generally, of a functional E [j(T 1 ,T 2 )] is proposed. We assume t
