Article Synopsis
- The study investigates cancer survivors' perceptions of what caused their cancer to improve educational initiatives aimed at risk reduction and healthy lifestyles.
- Analyzed responses from 1,001 survivors revealed that the most commonly believed causes were stress (51%), environmental pollution (48%), and chance (42%).
- Findings can help tailor cancer education and risk-reduction campaigns by focusing on the specific beliefs and demographics of different survivor groups.
We study the nonparametric estimation of a decreasing density function in a general -sample biased sampling model with weight (or bias) functions for = 1, …, . The determination of the monotone maximum likelihood estimator and its asymptotic distribution, except for the case when = 1, has been long missing in the literature due to certain non-standard structures of the likelihood function, such as non-separability and a lack of strictly positive second order derivatives of the negative of the log-likelihood function. The existence, uniqueness, self-characterization, consistency of and its asymptotic distribution at a fixed point are established in this article.
