The analysis of a truncated sample can be hindered by censoring. Survival information may be lost to follow-up or the birthdate may be missing. The data can still be modeled as a truncated point process and it is close to a Poisson process,…

In this article, the analysis of left truncated and right censored competing risks data is carried out, under the assumption of the latent failure times model. It is assumed that there are two competing causes of failures, although most of…
Quite often, we observe reliability data with two failure modes that may influence each other, resulting in a setting of dependent failure modes. Here, we discuss modelling of censored reliability data with two dependent failure modes by…
