in the literature of life-testing, general progressive censoring has been studied extensively. but, all the results have been developed under the key assumption that the units undertest are independently distributed. in this paper, we study general progressively type-ii censored order statistics arising from identical units under test which are jointly distributed according to an archimedean co...

Properties of Huber's M-estimators based on estimating equations have been studied extensively and are well understood for complete (i.i.d.) data. Although the concepts of M-estimators and in ̄uence curves have been extended for some time by Reid (1981) to incomplete data that are subject to right censoring, results on the general behavior of Mestimators based on incomplete data remain scattered...

This note discusses and illustrates the use of Weibull probability paper for complete samples and for the special kind of censoring known as type II censoring. In the latter case the observed lifetimes consist of the r lowest values of the sample, the remaining unobserved lifetimes all being higher. Three blanks for 1 Cycle Log, 2 Cycle Log and 3 Cycle Log scales on the measurement abscissa are...

This paper extends previous work on the identification of search models in which observed worker productivity is imperfectly observed. In particular, it establishes that these models remain identified even when employment histories are left-censored (i.e. we do not get to follow workers from their initial job out of unemployment), as well as when workers set different reservation wages from one...
