Choosing profile double-sampling designs for survival estimation with application to PEPFAR evaluation
Most studies that follow subjects over time are challenged by having some subjects who dropout. Double-sampling is a design that selects, and devotes resources to intensively pursue and find a subset of these dropouts; then uses data obtained from these to adjust naïve estimates, which are potentially biased by the dropout. Existing methods to estimate survival from double-sampling assume a ran...
متن کاملThe need for double-sampling designs in survival studies: an application to monitor PEPFAR.
In 2007, there were 33.2 million people around the world living with HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS/WHO, 2007). In May 2003, the U.S. President announced a global program, known as the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), to address this epidemic. We seek to estimate patient mortality in PEPFAR in an effort to monitor and evaluate this program. This effort, however, is hampered by loss to fol...
متن کاملPartial inspection problem with double sampling designs in multi-stage systems considering cost uncertainty
The nature of input materials is changed as long as the product reaches the consumer in many types of manufacturing processes. In designing and improving multi-stage systems, the study of the steps separately may not lead to the greatest possible improvement in the whole system, therefore the study of inputs and outputs of each stage can be effective in improving the output quality characterist...
متن کاملApplication of adaptive sampling in fishery part 1: Adaptive cluster sampling and its strip designs
Abstract: The precision of conventional sampling designs is not usually satisfactory for estimating parameters of clump and rare populations. Many of fish species live in school and disperse all over a vast area like a sea so that they are rare compare to their habitats. Theory of a class of sampling designs called adaptive sampling designs has rapidly grown during last decade which solv...
متن کاملApplication of adaptive sampling in fishery part 2: Truncated adaptive cluster sampling designs
There are some experiences that researcher come across quite number of time for very large networks in the initial samples such that they cannot finish the sampling procedure. Two solutions have been proposed and used by marine biologists which we discuss in this article: i) Adaptive cluster sampling based on order statistics with a stopping rule, ii) Restricted adaptive cluster sampling. Until...
