A Comparison of the β-Substitution Method and a Bayesian Method for Analyzing Left-Censored Data
Classical statistical methods for analyzing exposure data with values below the detection limits are well described in the occupational hygiene literature, but an evaluation of a Bayesian approach for handling such data is currently lacking. Here, we first describe a Bayesian framework for analyzing censored data. We then present the …
