Quantile regression for censored data. KU Leuven
One of the statistical challenges in survival analysis is the study of the relationship between a time-to-event response T and a set covariates X. This can be done using a wide variety of regression techniques like, for example, linear, AFT or Cox models. A robust and flexible alternative to these classical models is quantile regression, which has gained considerable popularity and interest in recent years. Many methods have been developed ...

Advances in Semiparametric Methods for Censored Data and Endogeneity KU Leuven
This thesis delves into two semiparametric regression methods: the Proportional Hazards (PH) model and Quantile Regression (QR) within Survival Analysis.
Our initial goal is to create a methodology to compare two independent or paired samples in survival analysis. This encompasses both conditional and unconditional outcomes, using QR as a primary comparison tool. A novel test is introduced to compare conditional quantile curves with ...
Econometric models for insurance applications: essays on Bayesian mortality models, heavy tails and extreme value statistics with censored data. KU Leuven
Life insurers, pension funds, health care providers and social security institutions face increasing expenses due to continuing improvements of mortality rates. The actuarial and demographic literature has introduced a myriad of (deterministic and stochastic) models to forecast mortality rates of single and multiple populations.
Chapter 2 in this PhD thesis presents aBayesian analysis of two related multi-population mortality models of ...
Development of new semi-parametric mixture models for interval censored data: mathematical properties, performance for finite samples, comparison of different approaches, with applications in antimicrobial resistance Hasselt University

Flexible hazard-based models and quantile regression for right-censored data using two-piece asymmetric distributions KU Leuven
This project aims at developing new methodologies for statistical inference for flexible mean and quantile regression models based on complex data, in particular censored data. The emphasis in this research will be on inference for quantiles, including quantile regression. In recent years, a few large asymmetric families of distributions have been studied. The interesting feature of these families is that the location parameter coincides with ...
