A strong i.i.d. representation is obtained for the product-limit estimator of the survival function based on left truncated and right censored data. This extends the result of Chao and Lo (1988, Ann. Statist. 16, 661-668) for truncated data. An improved rate of the approximation is also obtained on
This paper considers the estimator of the hazard function with censored data due to Diehl and Stute [1988, Kernel density and hazard function estimation in the presence of censoring. J. Multivariate Anal. 25, 299 -310] Counting process martingal techniques are used to obtain three bounds for the err
