Abstract: Understanding the association between mixtures of environmental toxicants and time‐to‐pregnancy (TTP) is an important scientific question as sufficient evidence has emerged about the impact of individual toxicants on reproductive health and that individuals are exposed… read more here.

Abstract: We propose a non-parametric estimator for bivariate left-truncated and right-censored observations that combines the expectation–maximization algorithm and the reinforced urn process. The resulting expectation-reinforcement algorithm allows for the inclusion of experts’ knowledge in the form… read more here.
