On being censored

رابطه وجود و ماهیت در رساله ‏‎"on being and essence"‎‏

هدف عمده ای که من در رساله خود تعقیب می کنم بررسی رابطه وجود و ماهیت از نظر توماس آکوئینی در رساله معروف خود تحت همین نام، است، که نام لاتین آن ‏‎de ente et essentia‎‏ می باشد و ترجمه انگلیسی آن تحت عنوان ‏‎"on being and essence"‎‏ است که ترجمه معمول آن به فارسی ((وجود و ماهیت)) می باشد. البته بهترین ترجمه فارسی واژه ‏‎ente‎‏، ((موجودیت)) است ولی ما مطابق رسم آنرا رساله ((درباره وجود و ماهیت)) ...

Censored Variables and Censored Regression

A censored variable has a large fraction of observations at the minimum or maximum. Because the censored variable is not observed over its entire range ordinary estimates of the mean and variance of a censored variable will be biased. Ordinary least squares (OLS) estimates of its regression on a set of explanatory variables will also be biased. These estimates are not consistent, i.e., the bias...

Statistical Prediction Based on Censored Life Data

This article describes methods for using censored life data to construct prediction bounds or intervals for future outcomes. Both new-sample prediction (e.g., using data from a previous sample to make predictions on the future failure time of a new unit) and within-sample prediction problems (e.g., predicting the number of future failures from a sample, based on early data from that sample) are...

On Wavelet Estimation in Censored Regression

The Cox proportional hazards model has become the model of choice to use in analyzing the effects of covariates on survival data. However, this assumption has significant restrictions on the behavior of the conditional survival function. The accelerated failure time model, which models the survival time and covariates directly through regression, provides an alternative approach to interpret th...
