Abstract: An estimated quadratic inference function method is proposed for correlated failure time data with auxiliary covariates. The proposed method makes efficient use of the auxiliary information for the incomplete exposure covariates and preserves the property of the quadratic inference function method that requires the covariates to be completely observed. It can improve the estimation efficiency and easily deal with the situation when the cluster size is large. The proposed estimator which minimizes the estimated quadratic inference function is shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal. A chi‐squared test based on the estimated quadratic inference function is proposed to test hypotheses about the regression parameters. The small‐sample performance of the proposed method is investigated through extensive simulation studies. The proposed method is then applied to analyze the Study of Left Ventricular Dysfunction (SOLVD) data as an illustration.
