Partial likelihood

D. R. COX

Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London

A definition is given of partial likelihood generalizing the ideas of conditional and marginal likelihood. Applications include life tables and inference in stochastic processes. It is shown that the usual large-sample properties of maximum likelihood estimates and tests apply when partial likelihood is used.

Key Words: Asymptotic theory • Censoring • Conditional likelihood • Life table • Marginal likelihood • Regression • Stochastic processes
