Abstract

Estimation of compiler causal treatment effects has been discussed by many authors under different situations but only limited literature exists for interval-censored failure time data, which often occur in many areas such as longitudinal or periodical follow-up studies. Particularly it does not seem to exist a method that can deal with informative interval censoring, which can happen naturally and make the analysis much more challenging. Also, it has been shown that when the informative censoring exists, the analysis without taking it into account would yield biased or misleading results. To address this, we propose an estimated sieve maximum likelihood approach with the use of instrumental variables. The asymptotic properties of the resulting estimators of regression parameters are established, and a simulation study is performed and suggests that it works well. Finally, it is applied to a set of real data that motivated this study.
