Self‐reporting and screening: Data with right‐censored, left‐censored, and complete observations
We consider survival data that combine three types of observations: uncensored, right‐censored, and left‐censored. Such data arises from screening a medical condition, in situations where self‐detection arises naturally. Our goal is to estimate the failure‐time distribution, based on these three observation types. We propose a novel methodology for distribution estimation …
