Bootstrap confidence intervals for medical costs with censored observations.
Medical costs data with administratively censored observations often arise in cost-effectiveness studies of treatments for life-threatening diseases. Mean of medical costs incurred from the start of a treatment until death or a certain time point after the implementation of treatment is frequently of interest. In many situations, due to the skewed nature of the cost distribution and non-uniform...
متن کاملStabilizing bootstrap-t confidence intervals for small samples
A major use of the bootstrap methodology is in the construction of nonparametric confidence intervals. Although no consensus has yet been reached on the best way to proceed, theoretical and empirical evidence indicate that bootstrap-t intervals provide a reasonable solution to this problem. However, when applied to small data sets, these intervals can be unusually wide and unstable. The author ...
متن کاملPrediction of Times to Failure of Censored Units in Hybrid Censored Samples from Exponential Distribution
In this paper, we discuss different predictors of times to failure of units censored in a hybrid censored sample from exponential distribution. Bayesian and non-Bayesian point predictors for the times to failure of units are obtained. Non-Bayesian prediction Intervals are obtained based on pivotal and highest conditional density methods. Bayesian prediction intervals are also proposed. One real...
متن کاملConfidence intervals of similarity values determined for cloned SSU rRNA genes from environmental samples.
The goal of this research was to investigate the influence of the error rate of sequence determination on the differentiation of cloned SSU rRNA gene sequences for assessment of community structure. SSU rRNA cloned sequences from groundwater samples that represent different bacterial divisions were sequenced multiple times with the same sequencing primer. From comparison of sequence alignments ...
متن کاملEmpirical likelihood-based confidence intervals for mean medical cost with censored data.
In this paper, we propose empirical likelihood methods based on influence function and jackknife techniques for constructing confidence intervals for mean medical cost with censored data. We conduct a simulation study to compare the coverage probabilities and interval lengths of our proposed confidence intervals with that of the existing normal approximation-based confidence intervals and boots...
