GAMMA Renewal Function in Censored Data

Abstract

In this study, the renewal process whose times between the intervals are gamma-diffused has been examined. In the situation where the sampling is Randomly Right Censored, a Parametric Estimator is recommended, which depends on the Maximum Likelihood Estimators of the unknown parameters of the gamma diffusion; and the statistical characteristics of these estimators have been investigated.
