    Abstract: Current status data occurs when failure time of subjects in a survival study is only known to be either less or greater than the censoring time. Thus, the failure time is either left – or right – censored. Analyzing data of this structure under the Cox Proportional Hazards model with dependent censoring assumption can be challenging. To address thi... Show More

    Abstract: Stripe rust is caused by Puccinia striiformisf. sp. tritici (Pst) threatening wheat production in Ethiopia. The emerged virulent stripe rust races at one point of the world spread to the rest of wheat-producing countries by the wind as well as human travels and damaged popular resistant wheat cultivars thereby posing food insecurity. However, wheat... Show More
