Abstract:

Yehuda Vardi made fundamental contributions to statistical analysis of duration data with selection bias. He also pioneered Poisson models for emission tomography and network tomography. In this talk, I will present Poisson-type models for duration data in the context of medical applications. I will show how useful estimators can be constructed that correct for selection bias.
