left-censored data the tobit model from the previous section assumes a normal distribution that is censored at zero. an observation of zero is considered to be left-censored. in the fit parametric survival platform, left-censored observations are specified using two response columns. in this ...
At high degrees of censoring (greater than 70% censored data), no technique provided good estimates of summary statistics. Maximum likelihood techniques were found to be far inferior to all other treatments except substituting zero or the detection limit value to censored data. 展开 ...
Biased estimates may result if the analyte is absent such that the unobserved data represents a mixed exposure distribution with an unknown proportion clustered at zero.We used semi-continuous models to identify time and industry trends in 52,457 OSHA inspection lead sample results.The first ...

Because prevalent disease is not always immediately diagnosed, some disease diagnosed at later visits are actually undiagnosed prevalent disease. I consider prevalent disease as a point mass at time zero for clinical applications where there is no interest in time of prevalent disease onset. I ...
It resembles the Lognormal near zero when the shape parameter is greater than one and behaves more like Lomax in the tail. The cdf of 𝑋∗X∗ representing the loss data with deductible (d) and policy limit (u) is: 𝐹∗(𝑥∗)=⎧⎩⎨ 0;𝐹(𝑥∗)−𝐹(𝑑)1...
