These patients' hypothetical preoperative gross tumor and planning target volumes (pre-GTV and pre-PTV) were evaluated against their actual postoperative resection cavity volumes (post-GTV and post-PTV), as well as a standardized hypothetical PTV with a 20mm margin. The influence of pre-GTV on ...
, d . Since any univariate margin of a copula is uniformly distributed, separate estimation is not feasible. As such, Luo and Shevchenko (2010) suggest estimating ν 1 , … , ν S jointly by maximizing the copula-likelihood of the grouped mixture. In both references, the matrix P is esti...
Meijer and Wansbeek (2007) [10] do not explicitly derive the corresponding test statistic nor do they provide Monte Carlo simulations on its performances in finite samples. The present contribution takes up their approach arguing that a GMM based pseudo-score LM test is well suited to test the...
