Abstract: The accelerated hazards model is one of the most commonly used models for regression analysis of failure time data and this is especially the case when, for example, the hazard functions may have monotonicity property. Correspondingly a large literature has been established for its estimation or inference when right-censored data are observed. Although several methods have also been developed for its inference based on interval-censored data, they apply only to limited situations or rely on some assumptions such as independent censoring. In this paper, we consider the situation where one observes case K interval-censored data, the type of failure time data that occur most in, for example, medical research such as clinical trials or periodical follow-up studies. For inference, we propose a sieve borrow-strength method and in particular, it allows for informative censoring. The asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are established. Simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed inference procedure performs well. The method is applied to a set of real data set arising from an AIDS clinical trial.
