Further details on inference under right censoring for transformation models with a change-point based on a covariate threshold

We consider linear transformation models applied to right censored survival data with a change-point based on a covariate threshold. We establish consistency and weak convergence of the nonparametric maximum lieklihood estimators. The change-point parameter is shown to be $n$-consistent, while the remaining parameters are shown to have the expected root-$n$ consistency. We show that the procedure is adaptive in the sense that the non-threshold parameters are estimable with the same precision as if the true threshold value were known. We also develop Monte-Carlo methods of inference for model parameters and score tests for the existence of a change-point. A key difficulty here is that some of the model parameters are not identifiable under the null hypothesis of no change-point. Simulation students establish the validity of the proposed score tests for finite sample sizes.
