摘要：Proportional mean residual life model is studied for analysing survival data from the case-cohort design. To simultaneously estimate the regression parameters and the baseline mean residual life function, weighted estimating equations based on an inverse selection probability are proposed. The resulting regression coefficients estimates are shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal with easily estimated variance-covariance. Simulation studies show that the proposed estimators perform very well. An application to a real dataset from the South Welsh nickel refiners study is also given to illustrate the methodology.
