Abstract:
Let
X1,
X2,…,
XN be i.i.d. random variables with distribution function
F and censored by
Y1,
Y2…,
YN. We can only observe (
Zt,
δt),
i=1, 2,…,
n and
δi,
i=
n+1,…,
N, where Z_i=\min \left(X_i, Y_i\right), \delta_i=I\left(X_i \leqslant Y_i\right)= \begincases1 & X_i
Y_i\endcases,This model was proposed by Suzuki, K. (1985) and he discussed the case tnat Xi is a discrete random variable taking finite values. In this paper we discuss the case that Xi has a continuous distribution function F. We propose a estimator \hatF of F and prove that √N(\hatF(t)-F(t)) converges to a Gussion process.
