1 Unit 3: Nonparametric Estimation Notes largely based on Statistical ti ti Methods for Reliability Data by WQ W.Q. Meeker and L. A. Escobar, Wiley, 1998 and on their class notes. Ramón V. León 9/3/2009 Stat 567: Unit 3 - Ramón V. León 1

2 Unit 3 Objectives Show the use of the binomial distribution to estimate F(t) from interval and singly right censored data, without assumptions on F(t). This is called nonparametric estimation Explain and illustrate how to compute standard error for F ˆ () t and approximate confidence intervals for F(t) Show how to extend nonparametric estimation to allow for multiply right-censored data Illustrate the Kaplan-Meier nonparametric estimator for data with observations reported as exact failures Describe and illustrate a generalization that provides a nonparametric estimator of F(t) with arbitrary censoring 9/3/2009 Stat 567: Unit 3 - Ramón V.

7 Confidence Intervals 9/3/2009 Stat 567: Unit 3 - Ramón V. León 7

8 Some Characteristic Features of Confidence Intervals The level of confidence expresses one s confidence (not probability) that a specific interval contains the quantity of interest The actual coverage probability is the probability that the procedure will result in an interval containing the quantity of interest A confidence interval is approximate if the specified level of confidence is not equal to the actual coverage probability With censored data most confidence intervals are approximate. Better approximations require more computations 9/3/2009 Stat 567: Unit 3 - Ramón V. León 8
