Valid and Approximately Valid Confidence Intervals for Current Status Data
现状数据的有效与近似有效置信区间
Abstract We introduce a new approach for creating pointwise confidence intervals for the distribution of event times for current status data. Existing methods are based on asymptotics. Our approach is based on binomial properties and motivates confidence intervals that are very simple to apply and are valid that is guarantee nominal coverage. Although these confidence intervals are necessarily conservative for small sample sizes, asymptotically their coverage rate approaches…
