Semi Parametric Estimation of the Incubation Period of AIDS

Jeremy M. G. Taylor, Yun Chon · Birkhäuser Boston eBooks · 1992

The incubation period distribution of AIDS is estimated from the grouped bivariate data which arises from a prevalent cohort study. A penalised likelihood approach is used to obtain smooth estimates of the incubation period distribution. We also examine how the individuals age at HIV infection and changes in the incubation period can be incorporated into the analysis. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
