Original Abstract

Left-censored data with more detection limits often arise in environmental contexts. The computational procedure for calculation of maximum likelihood estimators of the parameter for Type I multiply left-censored data from underlying Weibull distribution is suggested and used considering various numbers of detection limits. The expected Fisher information matrix is analytically determined and used for computation of score test statistic for comparison of two Type I multiply left-censored Weibull populations. The procedures are motivated by the possible applications of the results in the statistical analysis of real environmental data.
