The iterative convex minorant (ICM) algorithm (Groeneboom and Wellner, 1992) is widely believed to be much faster than the EM algorithm (Turnbull, 1976) in computing the NPMLE of the distribution function for interval censored data. Our formulation of the ICM helps to explore its connection with the
Multistate survival models for partially censored data are of great interest for investigating factors attributing to transitions from one state of survival to other states of survival or death. Kay (1982) extended the proportional hazards model for a multistate framework with several transient stat
Neural networks are considered by many to be very promising tools for classification and prediction. The flexibility of the neural network models often result in over-fit. Shrinking the parameters using a penalized likelihood is often used in order to overcome such over-fit. In this paper we extend
