In this paper we consider the TJW product-limit estimator F n (x) of an unknown distribution function F when the data are subject to random left truncation and right censorship. An almost sure representation of PL-estimator F n (x) is derived with an improved error bound under some weaker assumption
The iterative convex minorant (ICM) algorithm (Groeneboom and Wellner, 1992) is widely believed to be much faster than the EM algorithm (Turnbull, 1976) in computing the NPMLE of the distribution function for interval censored data. Our formulation of the ICM helps to explore its connection with the
