Simplified Estimators for the Normal Distribution When Samples Are Singly Censored or Truncated
Abstract
Easily computed estimates of the mean and variance of a Normal distribution obtained from samples which are truncated or censored are described. The estimates require only a single auxiliary function which is conveniently tabulated. Worked examples are given for sample data subject to left and right truncation. Additional examples are given for left and right censoring for the two cases in which either the point of censoring is fixed or the number of censored items is known.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
