The right answer is A. Hardness.

The hardness of a material defines the resistance of a surface of the sample to the penetration of a punch, for example a hardened steel ball (Brinell hardness) or a diamond pyramid (Vickers hardness). If it resists well, it is said hard, otherwise it is soft. The hardness is measured on different scales depending on the type of material considered.

Unlike minerals whose hardness is characterized by scratching (Mohs scale), bounce or penetration tests are usually used to characterize the hardness of metals, plastics and elastomers. These tests have the advantage of being simpler to perform and give reproducible results. There is a wide variety of possible hardness tests, they are widely used in quality control to compare or estimate the strength or stiffness of materials.

A large number of disease-free individuals were enrolled in a study
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

a,Answer: Type I right censoring, censoring time = 60.

b.This is called an Interval censoring,

c.this is called Random censoring because the year in consideration was chosen at random, censoring time = 61.

d.The observations are left truncated respectively at age 30, 40, 50 and 42.

e.L\alpha \frac{S(60)}{S(30)} *\frac{S(52)-S(55)}{S(40)} *\frac{S(61)}{S(42)} *\frac{S(55)}{S(50)}

Explanation:

a) A healthy individual, enrolled in the study at age 30, never developed

breast cancer during the study.

Answer: Type I censoring, censoring time = 60.

(b) A healthy individual, enrolled in the study at age 40, was diagnosed

with breast cancer at the fifth exam after enrollment (i.e., the disease

started sometime between 12 and 15 years after enrollment).

THis is called an Interval censoring,

if the clinical exams is conducted every three years , then 3*4=12, and 3*5=15

add this to 40 years respectively, we have

censoring time = (52, 55]

c) A healthy individual, enrolled in the study at age 50, died from a

cause unrelated to the disease (i.e., not diagnosed with breast cancer

at any time during the study) at age 61.

this is called Random censoring because the year in consideration was chosen at random, censoring time = 61.

(d) An individual, enrolled in the study at age 42, moved away from

the community at age 55 and was never diagnosed with breast cancer

during the period of observation.

Random censoring, censoring time = 55.

The observations are left truncated respectively at age 30, 40, 50 and 42.

e.  Confining your attention to the four individuals described above,

write down the likelihood for this portion of the study.

L\alpha \frac{S(60)}{S(30)} *\frac{S(52)-S(55)}{S(40)} *\frac{S(61)}{S(42)} *\frac{S(55)}{S(50)}  

the above represent the likelihood
