- Abstract
This article discusses the regression analysis of bivariate current status or case I interval-censored failure time data under the marginal proportional hazards model. Several estimation procedures have been proposed for this problem, but each method either applies only to limited situations or no theoretical justification has been provided. Using Bernstein polynomials and the copula model we develop a sieve maximum likelihood estimation approach that applies to more general situations. In particular this method leaves the underlying copula model completely unspecified and can be easily implemented. The proposed estimators are shown to be strongly consistent and the asymptotic normality and efficiency of the regression parameter estimator are established. Simulation studies are conducted to assess the performance of the proposed method. An illustrative example is also provided.
