In some long-term studies, a series of dependent and possibly truncated lifetimes may be observed. Suppose that the lifetimes have a common marginal distribution function. Under some regularity conditions, we provide a strong representation of the product-limit estimator in the form of an average of
A computer program is described for estimating a simple one or two parameter variance function using approximate conditional likelihood. The inverse of the fitted function provides a smooth weighting function for use in subsequent manipulation of the data. The program is designed for immunoassays, w
