Abstract: Neurodegenerative diseases require an autopsy for confirmation of diagnosis. When death is the event of interest, studies based on autopsy-confirmed diagnoses result in right truncated survival times because individuals who live past the end of… read more here.

Abstract: We study a type of double truncation where units are observed if and only if their death event occurs within a specific timespan. The resulting missing data mechanism is nonignorable and thus has to be… read more here.
