Statistical Generalized Derivative Applied to the Profile Likelihood Estimation in a Mixture of Semiparametric Models
1School of Mathematics and Statistics, Victoria University of Wellington, P.O. Box 600, 6140 Wellington, New Zealand.
Abstract:
There is a difficulty in finding an estimate of the standard error (SE) of the profile likelihood estimator in the joint model of longitudinal and survival data. The difficulty is on the differentiation of an implicit function that appear in the profile likelihood estimation. We solve the difficulty by introducing the "statistical generalized derivative". The derivative is used to show the asymptotic normality of the estimator with the SE expressed in terms of the profile likelihood score function.

Statistical Inference Techniques in Hypothesis Testing: Parametric Versus Nonparametric Data
Parametric statistics, as the name suggests, assumes that data follow a specific distribution, often a normal distribution. This assumption enables robust hypothesis testing and estimation. Parametric methods, like the Student's t-test or Goodness-of-fit test, are frequently employed in biostatistics due to their robustness. For instance,...
