On the loss of information through censoring

R. J. BROOKS

Department of Statistical Science, University College London

The expected gain in information provided by an experiment is used to investigate the loss of information when observations on lifetimes in reliability and survival studies are censored. It is assumed that the lifetime distribution is exponential. The loss of information through only obtaining data at given time points is also considered.

Key Words: Bayesian inference • Censored data • Information • Lifetime distribution • Relative efficiency
