Estimation of random survival functions: a linear approach.

Vicente Quesada Paloma, Alfonso García Pérez (1982)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

In the first part of this work, a Survival function is considered which is supposed to be an Exponential Gamma Process. The main statistical and probability properties of this process and its Bayesian interpretation are considered. In the second part, the problem to estimate, from a Bayesian view point, the Survival function is considered, looking for the Bayes rule inside of the set of linear combinations of a given set of sample functions. We finish with an...

Nonparametric Bayesian estimation and goodness of fit test.

Vicente Quesada Paloma, Alfonso García Pérez (1985)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

We first make a review of prior distributions neutral to the right, and then we get the Bayes rule for the survival function S(t) = 1 - F(t), with quadratic loss, with these prior distributions. We give, after that, the estimator with a special kind of processes neutral to the right, the homogeneous processes. We get in point four the linear Bayes rule and we give there an interpretation of the parameters. We finish with a Bayesian generalization of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov...

Objective Bayesian point and region estimation in location-scale models.

José M. Bernardo (2007)

SORT

Similarity:

Point and region estimation may both be described as specific decision problems. In point estimation, the action space is the set of possible values of the quantity on interest; in region estimation, the action space is the set of its possible credible regions. Foundations dictate that the solution to these decision problems must depend on both the utility function and the prior distribution. Estimators intended for general use should surely be invariant under one-to-one transformations,...

Survival analysis with coarsely observed covariates.

Soren Feodor Nielsen (2003)

SORT

Similarity:

In this paper we consider analysis of survival data with incomplete covariate information. We model the incomplete covariates as a random coarsening of the complete covariate, and an overview of the theory of coarsening at random is given. Various ways of estimating the parameters of the model for the survival data given the covariates are discussed and compared.

Equivalencia de problemas de decisión.

Agustín García Nogales (1990)

Trabajos de Estadística

Similarity:

En este trabajo se introduce una definición de equivalencia de problemas de decisión. Los resultados y ejemplos que presentamos muestran que esta definición de equivalencia se adapta bien a la metodología de la estadística.
