Abstract

In the study of comparing treatment effects, the data structures of two samples may be different. In this paper, we develop a unified semiparametric estimating equation approach to estimate various types of treatment effects with right-censored and length-biased data based on a semiparametric two-sample model. The large sample properties of the proposed estimators are derived and numerical studies are conducted to illustrate the proposed methods.
