✦ Synopsis

In this study bivariate kernel density estimators are considered when a component is subject to random truncation. In bivariate truncation models one observes the i.i.d. samples from the triplets (T, Y, X) only if T Y. In this set-up, Y is said to be left truncated by T and T is right truncated by Y. We consider the estimation of the bivariate density function of (Y, X) via nonparametric kernel methods where Y is the variable of interest and X a covariate. We establish an i.i.d. representation of the bivariate distribution function estimator and show that the remainder term achieves an improved order of O(n &1 ln n), which is desirable for density estimation purposes. Expressions are then provided for the bias and the variance of the estimators. Finally some simulation results are presented.

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

The problem of estimating a marginal density from incomplete bivariate data is considered. A kernel estimator is proposed. Strong consistency of the estimator is proved, and asymptotic formulae for its mean and variance derived. A method of bandwidth selection is suggested. Application of the estima

In some long-term studies, a series of dependent and possibly truncated lifetimes may be observed. Suppose that the lifetimes have a common marginal distribution function. Under some regularity conditions, we provide a strong representation of the product-limit estimator in the form of an average of
