Abstract:
:The feasibility and cost-effectiveness of estimation of kappa using a case-control method of sampling, proposed by Jannarone, Macera, and Garrison (1987, Biometrics 43, 433-437), is provided support. However, in this article unrealistic assumptions in their presentation are identified and more general results for more realistic settings are provided.

BIOMETRICS文献大全abstract::At any age the mean residual life function gives the expected remaining life at that age. Reliabilists and biometricians have found it useful to categorize failure distributions by the monotonicity properties of the mean residual life function. Hollander and Proschan (1975, Biometrika 62, 585-593) have derived tests o...
