The Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient and Linear Regression for Truncated Data
截断数据的积矩相关系数与线性回归
The random truncation model has been considered extensively in the literature. Tsai has noted that many previous results hold under the weaker assumption of quasi-independence between the failure time and the truncation time in the observable region of truncated data. We generalize the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient to measure the association between both time variables in the observable region. We show that if the failure time and the truncation time follow…
