Nonparametric Priors for Vectors of Survival Functions

Epifani, Ilenia; Lijoi, Antonio - 2009

The paper proposes a new nonparametric prior for two dimensional vectors of survival functions (S1, S2). The definition we introduce is based on the notion of L´evy copula and it will be used to model, in a nonparametric Bayesian framework, two sample survival data. Such an application will...

On residual inaccuracy of order statistics

Thapliyal, Richa; Taneja, H.C. - In: Statistics & Probability Letters 97 (2015) C, pp. 125-131

We propose the measure of residual inaccuracy of order statistics and prove a characterization result for it. Further we characterize some specific lifetime distributions using residual inaccuracy of the first order statistics. We also discuss some properties of the proposed measure.

On censored cumulative residual Kullback–Leibler information and goodness-of-fit test with type II censored data

Park, Sangun; Lim, Johan - In: Statistical Papers 56 (2015) 1, pp. 247-256

The extensions of the entropy and Kullback–Leibler (KL) information to the cumulative distribution function have been recently studied because they are well defined on the empirical distribution function. In this paper, we generalize the extended KL information to the censored case and propose...

Consumer willingness to pay for organic fresh milk in Taiwan

Huang, Chin-Huang; Lee, Chun-Hung - In: China Agricultural Economic Review 6 (2014) 2, pp. 198-211

valuation method (CVM) and survival function is used to measure consumer WTP a premium for organic fresh milk. Findings …-testing can reduce the biases. The survival function is more flexible, yields more information and permits assumptions regarding … parametric distributions without additional costs. The collaboration of survival function with the double-bounded method produces …

An improved nonparametric estimator of sub-distribution function for bivariate competing risk models

Emura, Takeshi; Kao, Fan-Hsuan; Michimae, Hirofumi - In: Journal of Multivariate Analysis 132 (2014) C, pp. 229-241

For competing risks data, it is of interest to estimate the sub-distribution function of a particular failure event, which is the failure probability in the presence of competing risks. However, if multiple failure events per subject are available, estimation procedures become challenging even...

Simple nonparametric estimators of the bivariate survival function under random left truncation and right censoring

Shen, Pao-sheng - In: Computational Statistics 29 (2014) 3, pp. 641-659

We consider estimating the bivariate survival function when both components are subject to random left truncation and …
