Nonparametric Analysis of Truncated Survival Data, with Application to AIDS
截断生存数据的非参数分析及其艾滋病应用
One source of data for the induction distribution of aids arises from persons infected by the aids virus from contaminated blood transfusions. Analyses of these data are complicated because the number of individuals infected by transfusion is unknown; information is available only for those who are infected and develop aids within a certain chronologic time interval. The statistical problem is one of making inferences about a stochastic process of infection and disease for…
