| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
(1) Doubly truncated data consist of samples whose observed values fall between the right- and left- truncation limits. With such samples, the distribution function of interest is estimated using the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (NPMLE) that is obtained through a self-consistency algorithm.
(2) Biased sampling affects the inference for population parameters of interest if the sampling mechanism is not appropriately handled. This paper considers doubly-truncated data arising in lifetime data analysis in which samples are subject to both left- and right-truncations. To correct for the sampling bias with doubly-truncated data, maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) has been proposed under a parametric family called the special exponential family (Efron and Petrosian, in J Am Stat Assoc, 1999).
