Estimating the Survival Curve When New is Better than Used of a Specified Age
指定使用年龄下“新品优于旧品”的生存曲线估计
Suppose that the survival function S of a random variable X is a member of the new-better-than-used-at-age-t 0 (NBU-{t 0}) class. As defined by Hollander, Park, and Proschan (1986), S must satisfy the condition S(x + t 0) ≤ S(x)S(t 0) for all x ≥ 0. Given a random sample from S, an estimator is sought that itself belongs to the NBU-{t 0} class and has the same asymptotic optimality properties as the empirical survival curve S n . The estimator S of S, given implicitly by…
