Least squares support vector regression for complex censored data

Least squares support vector regression (LS-SVR) is a robust machine learning algorithm for small sample data. Its solution is derived from solving a set of linear equations, making the calculation process straightforward. In order to overcome the difficulties of the regression estimations when the responses are subject to interval censoring or left truncation and right censoring, two LS-SVR methods are proposed. For interval-censored data, one can easily estimate the regression functions by combining the imputation techniques and LS-SVR for right-censored data. For left-truncated and right-censored data, a weight is used to reduce the effects of truncation and censoring on the LS-SVR procedure. Simulation results show that the proposed methods can reduce regression error and yield high accuracy and stability.

Sharp Bounds on Survivor Average Causal Effects When the Outcome Is Binary and Truncated by Death

In randomized trials with follow-up, outcomes may be undefined for individuals who die before the follow-up is complete. In such settings, Frangakis and Rubin [2002] proposed the “principal stratum effect” or “Survivor Average Causal Effect” (SACE), which is a fair treatment comparison in the subpopulation that would have survived under either treatment arm. Many of the existing results for estimating the SACE are difficult to carry out in practice. In this article, when the outcome is binary, we apply the symbolic Balke-Pearl linear programming method to derive simple formulas for the sharp bounds on the SACE under the monotonicity assumption commonly used by many researchers.
