ABSTRACT

Truncated samples are classified according to whether points of truncation (terminals) are known or unknown. When these points are unknown, they become additional parameters to be estimated from sample data. Primary interest in this book is focused on cases where terminals are known, and unless otherwise specified, these are the cases under consideration.
