Explicit Solutions for Constrained Maximum Likelihood Estimators in Survival/Sacrifice Experiments
生存与计划处死实验中约束极大似然估计的显式解
Regulatory agencies routinely base conclusions regarding carcinogenicity of compounds tested in long-term animal studies on tests which are known to be biased under conditions of treatment lethality and tumour lethality. The recognition of these biases has led to a variety of proposed approaches which rely on survival and sacrifice data. Williams & Portier (1992) derived analytic expressions for maximum likelihood estimators of the tumour incidence rate and discrete death…
