Hazard function estimation with nonnegative “wavelets”

Abstract

Wavelets have been successfully used for nonparametric function estimation, but for density and hazard functions, estimators must be nonnegative. In this paper, we develop a quasi-continuous nonnegative “wavelet” basis from Daubechies wavelets with good approximation properties. Using this basis, we develop a Bayesian nonparametric estimator of the hazard function for randomly right-censored data.
