Download or read book Analysis of Doubly Truncated Data written by Achim Dörre and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-13 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces readers to statistical methodologies used to analyze doubly truncated data. The first book exclusively dedicated to the topic, it provides likelihood-based methods, Bayesian methods, non-parametric methods, and linear regression methods. These procedures can be used to effectively analyze continuous data, especially survival data arising in biostatistics and economics. Because truncation is a phenomenon that is often encountered in non-experimental studies, the methods presented here can be applied to many branches of science. The book provides R codes for most of the statistical methods, to help readers analyze their data. Given its scope, the book is ideally suited as a textbook for students of statistics, mathematics, econometrics, and other fields.

Download or read book Survival Analysis written by John P. Klein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making complex methods more accessible to applied researchers without an advanced mathematical background, the authors present the essence of new techniques available, as well as classical techniques, and apply them to data. Practical suggestions for implementing the various methods are set off in a series of practical notes at the end of each section, while technical details of the derivation of the techniques are sketched in the technical notes. This book will thus be useful for investigators who need to analyse censored or truncated life time data, and as a textbook for a graduate course in survival analysis, the only prerequisite being a standard course in statistical methodology.
Download or read book The Mathematics of the Uncertain written by Eduardo Gil and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 897 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a tribute to Professor Pedro Gil, who created the Department of Statistics, OR and TM at the University of Oviedo, and a former President of the Spanish Society of Statistics and OR (SEIO). In more than eighty original contributions, it illustrates the extent to which Mathematics can help manage uncertainty, a factor that is inherent to real life. Today it goes without saying that, in order to model experiments and systems and to analyze related outcomes and data, it is necessary to consider formal ideas and develop scientific approaches and techniques for dealing with uncertainty. Mathematics is crucial in this endeavor, as this book demonstrates. As Professor Pedro Gil highlighted twenty years ago, there are several well-known mathematical branches for this purpose, including Mathematics of chance (Probability and Statistics), Mathematics of communication (Information Theory), and Mathematics of imprecision (Fuzzy Sets Theory and others). These branches often intertwine, since different sources of uncertainty can coexist, and they are not exhaustive. While most of the papers presented here address the three aforementioned fields, some hail from other Mathematical disciplines such as Operations Research; others, in turn, put the spotlight on real-world studies and applications. The intended audience of this book is mainly statisticians, mathematicians and computer scientists, but practitioners in these areas will certainly also find the book a very interesting read.

Download or read book Analysis for Time to Event Data under Censoring and Truncation written by Hongsheng Dai and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Survival Analysis for Bivariate Truncated Data provides readers with a comprehensive review on the existing works on survival analysis for truncated data, mainly focusing on the estimation of univariate and bivariate survival function. The most distinguishing feature of survival data is known as censoring, which occurs when the survival time can only be exactly observed within certain time intervals. A second feature is truncation, which is often deliberate and usually due to selection bias in the study design. Truncation presents itself in different ways. For example, left truncation, which is often due to a so-called late entry bias, occurs when individuals enter a study at a certain age and are followed from this delayed entry time. Right truncation arises when only individuals who experienced the event of interest before a certain time point can be observed. Analyzing truncated survival data without considering the potential selection bias may lead to seriously biased estimates of the time to event of interest and the impact of risk factors. - Assists statisticians, epidemiologists, medical researchers, and actuaries who need to understand the mechanism of selection bias - Reviews existing works on survival analysis for truncated data, mainly focusing on the estimation of univariate and bivariate survival function - Offers a guideline for analyzing truncated survival data
