Abstract

W pracy zaproponowana została klasa nieobciążonych estymatorów prawdopodobieństwa przeżycia P(T_i>t) w modelu losowego, niezależnego i obserwowalnego cenzurowania, w którym potencjalne czasy życia T, są nieobserwowalnymi zmiennymi losowymi, natomiast zmienne cenzurujące Z, oraz zmienne min (T_i, Z_i) są obserwowalne. (abstrakt oryginalny)

A class of unbiased estimators of survival probability P(T_i> t) under random and independent censorship model is considered, where the potential survival times T, are possibly unobserved, but the censoring times Z, and min(T_i, Z_i) are observed and the sample size is random. (original abstract)
