Abstract

Variable selection for failure time data with a cured fraction has been discussed by many authors but most of existing methods apply only to right-censored failure time data. In this paper, we consider variable selection when one faces interval-censored failure time data arising from a general class of generalized odds rate mixture cure models, and we propose a penalized variable selection method by maximizing a derived penalized likelihood function. In the method, the sieve approach is employed to approximate the unknown function, and it is implemented using a novel penalized expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm. Also the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators of regression parameters, including the oracle property, are obtained. Furthermore, a simulation study is conducted to assess the finite sample performance of the proposed method, and the results indicate that it works well in practice. Finally, the approach is applied to a set of real data on childhood mortality taken from the Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey.
