Quantile Regression Model for Residual Lifetime Using an Induced
Smoothing Approach
Description
A collection of functions is provided by this package to fit quantiles regression models for censored residual lifetimes. It provides various options for regression parameters estimation: the induced smoothing approach (smooth), and L1-minimization (non-smooth). It also implements the estimation methods for standard errors of the regression parameters estimates based on an efficient partial multiplier bootstrap method and robust sandwich estimator. Furthermore, a simultaneous procedure of estimating regression parameters and their standard errors via an iterative updating procedure is implemented (iterative). For more details, see Kim, K. H., Caplan, D. J., & Kang, S. (2022), "Smoothed quantile regression for censored residual life", Computational Statistics, 1-22 .
