Abstract:
In this paper, by virtual of the inverse probability weighted technique, we considered the jump-preserving estimation on the nonparametric regression models with missing data on response variable. First, we used local piecewise-linear expansion respectively with left and right kernel to approximate the unknown regression function. Second, we obtained the left- and right-limit estimation of regression function at each observed points and then determinated the final estimators by residual sums of squares. Third, we presented the convergence rate of estimators and the residual sums of squares. Finally, we illustrated the performance of our proposed method through some simulation studies and a conjunctivitis example from The Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University.

Truncation in Survival Analysis
Left truncation occurs when individuals who experienced the event of interest before a certain time are not included in the study. This is often due to a "delayed entry" into the study where only those who survive until a certain entry point are...

Residuals and Least-Squares Property
If the observed data point lies above the line, the residual is positive, and the line underestimates the actual data value for y. If the observed data point lies below the line, the residual is negative, and the line overestimates the actual data value for y.

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,...
