Indirect inference for survival data.

Bruce W. Turnbull, Wenxin Jiang (2003)

SORT

In this paper we describe the so-called indirect method of inference, originally developed from the econometric literature, and apply it to survival analyses of two data sets with repeated events. This method is often more convenient computationally than maximum likelihood estimation when handling such model complexities as random effects and measurement error, for example; and it can also serve as a basis for robust inference with less stringent assumptions on the data generating mechanism. The...

Inference on overlap coefficients under the Weibull distribution : equal shape parameter

Obaid Al-Saidy, Hani M. Samawi, Mohammad F. Al-Saleh (2005)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In this paper we consider three measures of overlap, namely Matusia’s measure ρ , Morisita’s measure λ and Weitzman’s measure Δ . These measures are usually used in quantitative ecology and stress-strength models of reliability analysis. Herein we consider two Weibull distributions having the same shape parameter and different scale parameters. This distribution is known to be the most flexible life distribution model with two parameters. Monte Carlo evaluations are used to study the bias and precision...
