This paper deals with problems of predicting, based on the random censored sampling, a future observation and the p-th order statistic of n' future observations for the Rayleigh model. We consider the prediction intervals for the Rayleigh model with respect to an inverse gamma prior distribution. In additions, numerical examples are given in order to illustrate the proposed predictive procedure.

In this paper, we study statistical inferences on the maximum likelihood estimation of a normal distribution when data are randomly censored. Likelihood equations are derived assuming that the censoring distribution does not involve any parameters of interest. The maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) of the censored normal distribution do not have an explicit form, and it should be solved in an iterative way. We consider a simple method to derive an explicit form of the approximate MLEs with no iterations by expanding the nonlinear parts of the likelihood equations in Taylor series around some suitable points. The points are closely related to Kaplan-Meier estimators. By using the same method, the observed Fisher information is also approximated to obtain asymptotic variances of the estimators. An illustrative example is presented, and a simulation study is conducted to compare the performances of the estimators. In addition to their explicit form, the approximate MLEs are as efficient as the MLEs in terms of variances.

We first consider the random censorship model of survival analysis. Efron (1981) introduced two equivalent bootstrap methods for censored data. We propose a new bootstrap scheme, called Method 3, that acts conditionally on the censoring pattern when making inference about aspects of the unknown life-time distribution F. This article contains (a) a motivation for this refined bootstrap scheme ; (b) a proof that the bootstrapped Kaplan-Meier estimatro fo F formed by Method 3 has the same limiting distribution as the one by Efron's approach ; (c) description of and report on simulation studies assessing the small-sample performance of the Method 3 ; (d) an illustration on some Danish data. We also consider the model in which the survival times are censered by death times due to other caused and also by known fixed constants, and propose an appropriate bootstrap method for that model. This bootstrap method is a readily modified version of the Method 3.

In some observational studies, we have often random censoring model. However, the data available may be partially observable censored data consisting of the observed failure times and only those nonfailure times which are subject to follow up. In this paper, we present an extension of the problem of partially parametric estimation of the survival function to such partially observable censored data. The proposed estimator treats the observed failure times nonparametrically and uses a parametric model only for those nonfailure times which are subject to follow-up. We discuss the motivation and construction of the proposed estimator and investigate the limiting properties of the proposed estimator such as asymptotic normality. Also, when the assumed parametric model is exponential, the asymptotic variance of the estimator is obtained. Furthermore, an example is given to compare the proposed estimator with the modified Kaplan Meier(MKM) estimator. From the results, it is shown that the relative efficiency of the proposed estimator is higher than that of the MKM estimator in the follow-up study with increasing time.

We consider goodness-of-fit test statistics for Weibull distributions when data are randomly censored and the parameters are unknown. Koziol and Green (Biometrika, 63, 465-474, 1976) proposed the $Cram\acute{e}r$-von Mises statistic's randomly censored version for a simple hypothesis based on the Kaplan-Meier product limit of the distribution function. We apply their idea to the other statistics based on the empirical distribution function such as the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Liao and Shimokawa (Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, 64, 23-48, 1999) statistics. The latter is a hybrid of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, $Cram\acute{e}r$-von Mises, and Anderson-Darling statistics. These statistics as well as the Koziol-Green statistic are considered as test statistics for randomly censored Weibull distributions with estimated parameters. The null distributions depend on the estimation method since the test statistics are not distribution free when the parameters are estimated. Maximum likelihood estimation and the graphical plotting method with the least squares are considered for parameter estimation. A simulation study enables the Liao-Shimokawa statistic to show a relatively high power in many alternatives; however, the null distribution heavily depends on the parameter estimation. Meanwhile, the Koziol-Green statistic provides moderate power and the null distribution does not significantly change upon the parameter estimation.

수명시간에 대한 모형으로 로그정규분포가 자주 사용되며, 이는 자료의 변환에 의하여 정규성 검정과 동일한 문제로 생각할 수 있다. 따라서 자료의 로그정규성 검정을 위하여, 정규성 검정에 자주 이용되는 Shapiro-Wilk 형태의 검정통계량을 Kaplan-Meier의 product limit 경험분포함수를 이용하여 임의중도절단자료로 일반화한다. Cram er von Mises 통계량을 임의중도절단자료로 일반화한 Koziol과 Green (1976)의 통계량과 비교하였으며 이를 위하여 단순귀무가설을 가정하였다. 중도절단분포에 대한 모형으로는 Koziol과 Green (1976)에서 제시한 모형과 이와 유사한 다른 모형 두 가지를 고려하였다. 검정력 비교 결과 제시한 통계량이 로그정규성 또는 정규성 검정에 더 좋은 검정력을 보여주었으며 검정력은 중도절단분포 모형보다는 자료의 중도절단비율에 영향을 받는다는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

In this paper we consider a new estimator of mean residual life(MRL) under the random censorship model, based on the partial moment of the distribution. The parameters of a partial moment are estimated by its maximum likelihood estimators when the underlying distribution is known. Though the new estimator is not a consistent estimator of the MRL, it is shown to have smaller mean squared error than the well known empirical MRL estimator for a parametric family. We also compare the proposed estimator with some other estimators in terms of MSE for exponential and lognormal distributions using censored data.

구간중도절단은 중도절단의 가장 일반적인 개념으로 구간중도절단자료는 의학 및 역학분야의 연구에서 흔히 관찰된다. 본 연구에서는 구간중도절단의 상황에서 생존함수와 중간생존시간을 추정하는 방법으로 평균대치법과 자기일치법을 비교 연구하고, 실제 자료로 혈우병환자에서 선천성면역결핍바이러스 감염시점을 추정하였다. 또한 구간중도절단자료를 생성하는 새로운 방법을 제시하였으며, 생성된 구간중도절단자료를 이용한 모의실험을 통하여 두 추정치에 대한 다양한 비교연구를 시행하였다. 구간중도절단자료에서 생존함수와 중간생존시간을 추정할 경우 중도절단율이 크지 않다면 평균대치법이 자기일치법보다 더 우수한 추정치로 판명되었다.

We propose a smoothing estimator of mean residual life function based on Ghorai and Susarla's (1990) smooth estimator of distribution function under random censorship model and provide the asymptotic properties of this estimator. The Monte Carlo simulation is performed to compare the proposed estimator with the other estimators and an exmple is also given using the real data.
