Table 4.

Simulation means for various estimators of the cumulative type 1 failure hazards at time 7 in the discrete setting with a sample size n = 500 under misattribution, logit r(t) = (logit ψ0)+ ψ1t. The average of the standard error estimates (SEE), sample standard deviations (SSD) and the empirical mean square error (MSE) are also presented. The true value is 0.305.
