  Product limit estimates: a generalized maximum likelihood study
 
 
Title: Product limit estimates: a generalized maximum likelihood study
Author: Wang, Mel Cheng
Appeared in: Communications in statistics
Paging: Volume 16 (1987) nr. 11 pages 3117-3132
Year: 1987
Contents: The generalized maximum likelihood estimate (GMLE) assumptions are studied for four product-limit estimates (PLE): Censoring PLE (Kaplan-Meier estimate), truncation PLE, censoring-truncation PLE, and the degenerated PLE - the empirical distribution function. This paper shows that all the PLE's are also the GMLE's even if they are derived from partial likelihoods by natural parameterization techniques. However, a counter example is given to show that Kiefer Wolfowitz's assumption (1956) for consistency of GMLE can hardly be satisfied for un-dominated case.
