요약Interval-censored multi-state data are commonly encountered in studies of chronic diseases, where a subject's health status is characterized by a finite number of disease states and transitions between states are only known to occur within broad time intervals. The fact that none of the transition times are directly observed makes regression analysis extremely challenging, both theoretically and computationally. This dissertation develops novel statistical methods for interval-censored multi-state data analysis in three projects.In the first project, we provide a new framework based on semiparametric proportional intensity models to analyze general interval-censored multi-state data. We adopt nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation (NPMLE) and develop a stable EM algorithm based on latent Poisson random variables. We establish a rigorous asymptotic theory for the resulting estimators and demonstrate the satisfactory performance of the proposed inference procedures through extensive simulation studies. Finally, we apply these methods to the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study.The second project extends the first project by incorporating an absorbing state, whose entry time is exactly known or right-censored, while the transient state at the previous instant remains unknown. We combine NPMLE with sieve estimation for inference and devise a stable EM algorithm for computation. We establish the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators using novel theoretical arguments. Furthermore, we perform dynamic prediction of future disease process based on the evolving process history. Finally, we assess the performance of the proposed methods through simulation studies and illustrate their application using the cardiac allograft vasculopathy data.In the third project, we introduce a novel framework based on transition models with random effects for assessing treatment effects in COVID-19 phase-3 clinical trials. Our models estimate treatment effects on the odds of transitions between severity categories, using the entire clinical course without the need for missing data imputation. We discuss flexible model parameterizations for various applications. We also demonstrate how fitted transition models can be integrated with G-computation to examine complex endpoints and increase the power for detecting treatment effects. Finally, we evaluate the proposed methods through simulation studies and apply them to data from the Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trial.
