Abstract
In unveiling the non-parametric estimation of the conditional hazard function through the local linear method, our study yields key insights into the method’s behavior. We present rigorous analyses demonstrating the mean square convergence of the estimator, subject to specific conditions, within the realm of independent observations with missing data. Furthermore, our contributions extend to the derivation of expressions detailing both bias and variance of the estimator. Emphasizing the practical implications, we underscore the applicability of two distinct models discussed in this paper for single index estimation scenarios. These findings not only enhance our understanding of survival analysis methodologies but also provide practitioners with valuable tools for navigating the complexities of missing data in the estimation of conditional hazard functions. Ultimately, our results affirm the robustness of the local linear method in non-parametrically estimating the conditional hazard function, offering a nuanced perspective on its performance in the challenging context of independent observations with missing data.
