Abstract: This paper considers clustered doubly-censored data that occur when there exist several correlated survival times of interest and only doubly censored data are available for each survival time. In this situation, one approach is to model the marginal distribution of failure times using semiparametric linear transformation models while leaving the dependence structure completely arbitrary. We demonstrate that the approach of Cai et al. (Biometrika 87:867–878, 2000 ) can be extended to clustered doubly censored data. We propose two estimators by using two different estimated censoring weights. A simulation study is conducted to investigate the proposed estimators. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014
