Estimation of the Failure Rate. A Survey of Nonparametric Methods. Part I. Non-Bayesian Methods.

Abstract

In this paper several nonparametric, non-Bayesian methods for estimating the failure rate function on which no monotonicity conditions have been imposed are surveyed. The survey attempts to consolidate and synthesize literature from several diverse areas of application, and endeavors to be as up-to-date as is feasible. (Author)
