We have considered before the problem of estimating the parameters giving the mean time in each stage, for a two-stage Poisson process, when sampling was permitted only at equal intervals. It was ...

Geoff Cumming receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Such research findings sound exciting because the word significant suggests important and large. But researchers often use the word ...

Estimation of the sojourn time on the preclinical detectable period in disease screening or transition rates for the natural history of chronic disease usually rely on interval cases (diagnosed ...

Identify characteristics of “good” estimators and be able to compare competing estimators. Construct sound estimators using the techniques of maximum likelihood and method of moments estimation.

Process capability indices (PCIs) have long served as crucial metrics in assessing the performance and quality of manufacturing processes. Recent advances in statistical estimation techniques have not ...
