Modelling lifetime data with simple mathematical representations and an ease in obtain ing the parameter estimate of survival models are crucial quests pursued by survival re searchers. In this paper, we derived and introduced a one-parameter distribution called the Agu-Eghwerido (AGUE)...

In this paper, a decomposition method for Tobit-models is derived, which allows the differences in a censored outcome variable between two groups to be decomposed into a part that is explained by differences in observed characteristics and a part attributable to differences in the estimated...

The paper studies the degree of homogeneity of innovative behavior in order to determine empirically an industry classification of Dutch manufacturing that can be used for policy purposes. We use a two limit tobit model with sample selection, which explains the decisions by business enterprises...

This article considers a wide class of censoring problems and presents a construction rule for an objective function. This objective function generalises the ordinary likelihood as well as particular "likelihoods" used for estimation in several censoring models. Under regularity conditions the...
