N2 - The generalized odds-rate class of regression models for time to event data is indexed by a non-negative constant ρ and assumes that gρ(S(t\Z)) = α(t) + β′Z where gρ(s) = log(ρ-1(s-ρ - 1)) for ρ > 0, g0 (s) = log(-log s), S(t\Z) is the survival function of the time to event for an individual with q×1 covariate vector Z, β is a q×1 vector of unknown regression parameters, and α(t) is some arbitrary increasing function of t. When ρ = 0, this model is equivalent to the proportional hazards model and when ρ = 1, this model reduces to the proportional odds model. In the presence of right censoring, we construct estimators for β and exp(α(t)) and show that they are consistent and asymptotically normal. In addition, we show that the estimator for β is semiparametric efficient in the sense that it attains the semiparametric variance bound.
