A Study of the Mean Residual Life Function and Its Applications
Mbowe, Omar B - 2006
The mean residual life (MRL) function is an important function in survival analysis, actuarial science, economics and other social sciences and reliability for characterizing lifetime. Different methods have been proposed for doing inference on the MRL but their coverage probabilities for small...

Empirical Likelihood Confidence Intervals for the Sensitivity of a Continuous-Scale Diagnostic Test
Davis, Angela Elaine - 2007
Diagnostic testing is essential to distinguish non-diseased individuals from diseased individuals. More accurate tests lead to improved treatment and thus reduce medical mistakes. The sensitivity and specificity are two important measurements for the diagnostic accuracy of a diagnostic test....
