Recall Problem 37 of Chapter 11. The data corresponded to 211 patients with stage IV prostate cancer who were treated with estrogen. A random sample of size 14 from the 211 observations of survival times and withdrawal times (in months) from Table 11.19 yielded

As reported by Koziol and Green (1976), prior experience suggested that had the patients not been treated with estrogen, their survival distribution from cancer of the prostate would be exponential with mean 100. Compute the Susarla-van Ryzin estimator of F taking μ to be exponential with mean 100 and α = 4.
