Abstract

Nonparametric estimation of lifetime distribution is a crucial issue in survival analysis. In this paper, we consider such estimation problem in a uniform martingale framework. The corresponding estimators when the observed data are subject to right censoring, random truncation, and missing-censoring are derived and the large-sample behavior of these estimators are studied by applying martingale theory. © 2008 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
