Instead in terms of the probability density function, one can formulate the prior in terms of its integral, the distribution function. The density is then recovered from the distribution function by ...

This example considers a data set given in Lawless (1982). The data are the number of days it took rats painted with a carcinogen to develop carcinoma. The last two observations are censored. Maximum ...

In this paper we discuss the non-parametric estimation of a distribution function based on incomplete data for which the measurement origin of a survival time or the date of enrollment in a study is ...

The problem of estimating the distribution function F at a point t is treated under a nonparametric smoothness condition for F. The asymptotic performance of a certain class of kernel type estimators ...

The Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) provides a quantitative means of characterising how light is reflected from a surface. It is defined as the ratio of radiance scattered by ...
