For most applications of the Cox Model, a simple exponential relationship is assumed between covariates of this model and relative force of mortality (A). A method has been developed to examine this relationship in detail for data sets that contain a sufficient number of deaths. This method was appl
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
