To test whether the hazard rate has a parametric form the unknown hazard rate is estimated by a kernel estimator. Based on a limit theorem stating the asymptotic normality of the quadratic distance of this estimator from the smoothed hypothesis an asymptotic ®-test is proposed. Since the test statistic depends on the maximum likelihood estimator for the unknown parameter in the hypothetical model properties of this parameter estimator are investigated.

After stating some basic notations we will present a data example. Applying standard parametric methods to these data we will see that this approach fails - basic features of the underlying functions are not reflected by their estimates. Our proposal is to use nonparametric estimation methods. These methods are explained in section 2. Nonparametric approaches are better in the sense that they are more flexible, and misspecifications of the model are avoided. But, parametric models have the advantage that the parameters can be interpreted. So, finally, we will formulate a test procedure to check whether a parametric or a nonparametric model is appropriate.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{LieroLiero2006, author = {Liero, Hannelore and Liero, Matthias}, title = {Testing the acceleration function in life time models}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-49405}, year = {2006}, abstract = {The accelerated life time model is considered. First, test procedures for testing the parameter of a parametric acceleration function is investigated; this is done under the assumption of parametric and nonparametric baseline distribution. Further, based on nonparametric estimators for regression functions tests are proposed for checking whether a parametric acceleration function is appropriate to model the influence of the covariates. Resampling procedures are discussed for the realization of these methods.
