The nonparametric regression offers alternative to classical regression analysis when the data are not well behaved or when the classical regression model shows significant lack of fit. In recent years, It has been applied using Kernel estimators and the smoothing splines, but these methods wields some bias of estimation. In this study, a semi-parametric multiplicative bias reduction density function was used to develop a non parametric regression model. Simulation studies conducted showed that the proposed estimator performs better than both the Kernel and the smoothing splines estimators especially with large samples

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease that has a major health problem over the centuries. This study assessed the risk factors associated with time to death among TB patients treated under directly observed short course treatment program in Health facilities in Hawassa city, Ethiopia. The authors analysed data from a cohort of 1604 TB patients recruited between September 2008 to September 2011. They apply the parametric regression model of survival data analysis. The best fitted parametric regression model is selected by using the Akaike information criterion (AIC). The AIC confirms that the Weibull regression model is found to be the best fit of the survival of tuberculosis patients under the DOTS program at Hawassa town, Ethiopia. The fit of the Weibull regression model result revealed that sex, age, baseline weight, HIV status, category of patients and year of enrolment are the significant factor for the survival of TB patients.
