On The Residual Analysis With Interval-Censored Data

Nowadays several methods are used to estimate the interval-censored data and do residual analysis, such as midpoint residuals, GEL residuals and proposal residuals. The idea of self-consistency suggested by Turnbull was used in these methods, but the computing of these methods is complicate. In this paper, A Class method was proposed. According to least variance rule, the best estimation of Interval-Censored data was found, and then residual was analyzed by the Class method. The imitating results show that this method is better than other methods.
