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

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
Suppose that we have \((n-a)\) independent observations from \(N_{f}(0,2)\) and that, in addition, we have \(a\) independent observations available on the last \((p-c)\) coordinates. Assuming that both observations are independent, we consider the problem of estimating \(\sum\) under the Stein's los
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
## Abstract This communityβbased study of Parkinson's disease (PD) investigated age at death and cause of death in a cohort of 170 previously studied patients. The current study is a 9βyear followβup, and the results are compared to 510 sexβ and ageβmatched controls from the same area. A total of 1
