Summary: Objective: This paper aims to introduce a modified kernel-type ridge estimator for partially linear models under randomly-right censored data. Such models include two main issues that need to be solved: multi-collinearity and censorship. To address these issues, we improved the kernel estimator based on synthetic data transformation and kNN imputation techniques. The key idea of this paper is to obtain a satisfactory estimate of the partially linear model with multi-collinear and right-censored using a modified ridge estimator.
Results: To determine the performance of the method, a detailed simulation study is carried out and a kernel-type ridge estimator for PLM is investigated for two censorship solution techniques. The results are compared and presented with tables and figures. Necessary derivations for the modified semiparametric estimator are given in appendices.
