Dear all,
I want to apply weights to my sample data set and I am struggling with the
Efron Approximation with weights.
I have got one sample data shown as below:
customer week arrest fin age race weight 1 weight
2 weight 3
1 20 1 1 27 1 2 15 2
2 17 1 0 18 1 2 19 1
3 25 1 1 19 0 2 20 1
4 52 0 1 23 1 2 5 1
5 52 0 0 19 0 2 11 1
6 25 1 0 19 0 2 26 1
I applied four different weighted Efron Formulas (all are derived by myself)
to the data set above and have got the following results for 3 weight sets
based on those 4 formulas, respectively.

"replicated by weights" means that I also replicated individuals as many
times as indicated by weights and applied unweighted Efron approximation to
the replication of the dataset.
The formula 4 can give me same results as the unweighted ones if I apply the
same weights to each individual and also can give me the close results to
the ones calculated by R (efron method+weights) if I apply different weights
to each individual. these results are close to the R's but not exactly the
same.
I don't know why and what the problem is with my formulas. Could anyone give
me some help, please?
I will really appreciate it.
I have attached my four weighted Efron formulas with this message already.
