PIECEWISE GEOMETRIC ESTIMATION OF A SURVIVAL FUNCTION AND SOME RESULTS IN TOTAL POSITIVITY ORDERINGS (NONPARAMETRIC, PERCENTILE, CONFIDENCE INTERVALS)

In the first topic we describe a procedure that uses incomplete data to estimate failure rate and survival functions. Although the procedure is designed for discrete distributions, it applies in the continuous case also. === The procedure is based on the assumption of a piecewise constant failure ra...
