Hi All,
I am trying to determine a good central tendency estimate of the time interval between events that could occur probabilistically over a fixed time period. Once an event occurs another event cannot occur until after a lag period. (Total period is 20 times the length of lag period). If only one even occurs then there is not enough data to estimate a mean value. If multiple events occur, we can estimate mean/median/mode. But if only 2 events occur (for example, at the 5th and 20th years, there is only one real interval, which would be 15 yrs) what would be the best estimate of the interval?
