The use of censored data is unintentional but necessary. Sometimes engineers plan a test program so that, after a certain time limit or number of failures, all other tests will be terminated. These suspended times are treated as right-censored data. The use of censored data is intentional.
Left-censored data can occur when a person's survival time becomes incomplete on the left side of the follow-up period for the person. For example, in an epidemiological example, we may monitor a patient for an infectious disorder starting from the time when he or she is tested positive for the infection.
Censored regression models are used for data where only the value for the dependent variable is unknown while the values of the independent variables are still available. Censored dependent variables frequently arise in econometrics. A common example is labor supply. Data are frequently available on the hours worked by employees, and a labor ...
Internet censorship is the legal control or suppression of what can be accessed, published, or viewed on the Internet. Censorship is most often applied to specific internet domains (such as Wikipedia.org, for example) but exceptionally may extend to all Internet resources located outside the jurisdiction of the censoring state.
In statistics, a tobit model is any of a class of regression models in which the observed range of the dependent variable is censored in some way. [1] The term was coined by Arthur Goldberger in reference to James Tobin, [2] [a] who developed the model in 1958 to mitigate the problem of zero-inflated data for observations of household expenditure on durable goods.
Dr. Deborah Birx, former White House’s Coronavirus Task Force coordinator, on Sunday said that attempts to convey accurate scientific information about the pandemic were “censored.” Birx ...
What access Elon Musk has to closely-guarded government data – including sensitive information it has collected about and from the American public – is a key battlefront in the ongoing and ...
Note that winsorizing is not equivalent to simply excluding data, which is a simpler procedure, called trimming or truncation, but is a method of censoring data.. In a trimmed estimator, the extreme values are discarded; in a winsorized estimator, the extreme values are instead replaced by certain percentiles (the trimmed minimum and maximum).
