For some of my current projects, I'm probably going to need to eventually estimate some models using Metropolis-Hastings sampling. I understand the basic concepts, and the software I use (R) has ...

This example considers a data set given in Lawless (1982). The data are the number of days it took rats painted with a carcinogen to develop carcinoma. The last two observations are censored. Maximum ...

The observed likelihood function of the three-parameter Weibull transformation (Lawless 1982, p.191) is and the log likelihood is The log likelihood function can only be evaluated for , c > 0, and .
