Abstract

The requirement of constant censoring parameter β in Koziol-Green (KG) model is too restrictive. When covariates are present, the conditional KG model (Veraverbekea and Cadarso-Suárez, 2000) which allows β to be dependent on the covariates is more realistic. In this paper, using sufficient dimension reduction methods, we provide a model-free diagnostic tool to test if β is a function of the covariates. Our method also allows us to conduct a model-free selection of the related covariates. A simulation study and a real data analysis are also included to illustrate our approach.
