Abstract

Cox proportional hazards model with measurement errors is considered. In Kukush and Chernova (2017), we elaborated a simultaneous estimator of the baseline hazard rate λ()\lambda(\cdot) and the regression parameter β\beta, with the unbounded parameter set Θ=Θλ×Θβ\varTheta=\varTheta_{\lambda}\times\varTheta_{\beta}, where Θλ\varTheta_{\lambda} is a closed convex subset of C[0,τ]C[0,\tau] and Θβ\varTheta_{\beta} is a compact set in Rm\mathbb{R}^m. The estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal. In the present paper, we construct confidence intervals for integral functionals of λ()\lambda(\cdot) and a confidence region for β\beta under restrictions on the error distribution. In particular, we handle the following cases: (a) the measurement error is bounded, (b) it is a normally distributed random vector, and (c) it has independent components which are shifted Poisson random variables.
