This article presents a non-parametric estimator of a survival function in a proportional hazard model when some of the data are censored on the left and some are censored on the right. The proposed method generalizes the work of Ebrahimi (1985). Uniformly strong consistency and asymptotic normality

✦ Synopsis
We consider the problem of estimating the quantiles of a distribution function in a fixed design regression model in which the observations are subject to random right censoring. The quantile estimator is defined via a conditional Kaplan-Meier type estimator for the distribution at a given design point. We establish an a.s. asymptotic representation for this quantile estimator, from which we obtain its asymptotic normality. Because a complicated estimation procedure is necessary for estimating the asymptotic bias and variance, we use a resampling procedure, which provides us, via an asymptotic representation for the bootstrapped estimator, with an alternative for the normal approximation.

We consider the transformation model which is a generalization of Lehmann alternatives model. This model contains a parameter 0 and a nonparametric part F1 which is a distribution function. We propose a kind of M-estimator of 8 based on ranks in the presence of random censoring. It is nonparametric
