When the response is the time-to-event outcome such as lifetimes of patients, data are often clustered and censored. For example, in a clinical trial, researchers are interested in evaluating the effect of a treatment on survival in the HIV-1 seropositive drug users adjusted for other predictive covariates such as BMI (body mess index) and age. Some patients may still be alive when the study terminates. Hence, the survival times of these patients are censored. On the other hand, when patients are taken from different health centers; there might be a dependence between patients in the same center. Part of the objective of this research proposal is to develop semi-parametric regression models for fixed and mixed covariate effects with censored and clustered samples and to investigate the large sample performance of the estimators.

当反应是事件发生的时间结果时，如患者的寿命，数据通常被聚集和审查。例如，在一项临床试验中，研究人员感兴趣的是，根据BMI(身体混乱指数)和年龄等其他预测协变量进行调整后，评估治疗对HIV-1血清阳性吸毒者生存的影响。当研究结束时，一些患者可能还活着。因此，这些患者的生存时间是经过审查的。另一方面，当患者从不同的健康中心接收时，同一中心的患者之间可能存在依赖关系。这项研究的目的之一是建立带有删失和聚集样本的固定和混合协变量效应的半参数回归模型，并考察估计量的大样本性能。
