Prevalent cohort studies frequently involve length-biased and right-censored data, a fact that has drawn considerable attention in survival analysis. In this article, we consider survival data arising from lengthbiased sampling, and propose a new semiparametric-model-based approach to estimate quantile differences of failure time. We establish the asymptotic properties of our new estimators theoretically under mild technical conditions, and propose a resampling method for estimating their asymptotic variance. We then conduct simulations to evaluate the empirical performance and efficiency of the proposed estimators, and demonstrate their application by a real data analysis.

We present a novel constraint on light dark matter utilizing 1.54 metric ton/year of data acquired from the PandaX-4T dual-phase xenon time projection chamber. This constraint is derived through detecting electronic recoil signals resulting from the interaction with solar-enhanced dark matter flux. Low-mass dark matter particles, lighter than a few MeV/c2, can scatter with the thermal electrons in the Sun. Consequently, with higher kinetic energy, the boosted dark matter component becomes detectable via contact scattering with xenon electrons, resulting in a few keV energy deposition that exceeds the threshold of PandaX-4T. We calculate the expected recoil energy in PandaX-4T considering the Sun’s acceleration with heavy mediators and the detection capabilities of the xenon detector. The first experimental search results using the xenon detector yield the most stringent upper limits cross section of 3.51×10−39 cm2 at 0.08 MeV/c2 for a solar boosted dark matter mass ranging from 0.02 to 10 MeV/c2, achieving a 23-fold improvement compared with earlier experimental studies.
