A truncation bias affects the observation of a pair of variables (X, Y), so that data are available only if Y ~<X. In such a situation, the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (NPMLE) of the distribution function of Y may have unpleasant features (Woodroofe, Ann. Statisr 13 (1985) 163-177). A
Randomly left or right truncated observations occur when one is concerned with estimation of the distribution of time between two events and when one only observes the time if one of the two events falls in a fixed time-window, so that longer survivial times have higher probability to be part of the
