Distributional regression aims to find the best candidate in a given parametric family of conditional distributions to model a given dataset. As each candidate in the distribution family can be identified by the corresponding distribution…

Survival regression aims to predict the time when an event of interest will take place, typically a death or a failure. A fully parametric method [18] is proposed to estimate the survival function as a mixture of individual parametric…

We propose an empirically stable and asymptotically efficient covariate-balancing approach to the problem of estimating survival causal effects in data with conditionally-independent censoring. This addresses a challenge often encountered…

In this paper, we considered the problem of dependent censoring models with a positive probability that the times of failure are equal. In this context, we proposed to consider the Marshall-Olkin type model and studied some properties of…

This paper introduces an assumption-lean method that constructs valid and efficient lower predictive bounds (LPBs) for survival times with censored data. We build on recent work by Cand\`es et al. (2021), whose approach first subsets the…

In this paper we test the composite hypothesis that lifetimes follow an exponential distribution based on observed randomly right censored data. Testing this hypothesis is complicated by the presence of this censoring, due to the fact that…
