Pointwise nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of stochastically ordered survivor functions.
In this paper, we consider estimation of survivor functions from groups of observations with right-censored data when the groups are subject to a stochastic ordering constraint. Many methods and algorithms have been proposed to estimate distribution functions under such restrictions, but none have completely satisfactory properties when the observations are censored. We propose a pointwise cons...

متن کاملOn Calculating the Nonparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimator of a Distribution given Interval Censored Data on Calculating the Nonparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimator of a Distribution given Interval Censored Data
SUMMARY We introduce an algorithm for calculating the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of a distribution function when data are interval censored. This algorithm has advantages over existing methods such as the pool-adjacent-violators algorithm and the greatest-convex-minorant algorithm. We establish a theoretical result related to the expected run time of the new method.
متن کاملNonparametric Density Estimation: A Piecewise Maximum Likelihood Approach
The effort of recovering the features (such as the number of modes and overall shape) of unknown densities leads to nonparametric curve estimation under order restrictions. We introduce a flexible class of nonparametric densities called a-regular shaped densities, and propose the Piecewise Maximum Likelihood Estimate (PMLE) which has an attractive "automatic" bandwidth selection feature. Spline...
متن کاملA nonparametric monotone maximum likelihood estimator of time trend for repairable systems data
The trend-renewal-process (TRP)is defined to be a time-transformed renewal process, where the time transformation is given by a trend function λ(·) which is similar to the intensity of a nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP). A nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of the trend function of a TRP is obtained under the often natural condition that λ(·) is monotone. An algorithm for computing...
