Abstract
Consider a group of individuals exposed to radiation for an interval of time, such as units of military personnel during nuclear weapons tests 3 and 4 decades ago. Often, dosimetry information is known for several, but not all, individuals of that group. A nonparametric procedure was described that gave probability-based, upper-bound estimates of doses for an unbadged individual (within the group) for whom dose information was required; such information was useful in litigation. The method was illustrated by an application to a Navy unit.
