## Abstract In diseases caused by a deleterious gene mutation, knowledge of ageβspecific cumulative risks is necessary for medical management of mutation carriers. When pedigrees are ascertained through at least one affected individual, ascertainment bias can be corrected by using a parametric meth
The paper considers the problem of estimating the dependence function of a bivariate extreme survival function with standard exponential marginals. Nonparametric estimators for the dependence function are proposed and their strong uniform convergence under suitable conditions is demonstrated. Compar
The product limit estimator is arguably the most popular method of estimating survival probabilities in homogeneous samples. When the survival time and the censoring time are dependent, the product-limit estimator is an inconsistent estimator of the marginal survival function. Recently M. Zheng and
## Abstract Rosen's (1974) theory of hedonic prices is implemented econometrically using recently developed nonparametric techniques to examine the influence of qualitative factors on the price of a house. Our ability to smooth categorical variables leads to greater generalization in the valuation
