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
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
A data augmentation algorithm is presented for estimating the hazard function and pointwise variability intervals based on interval censored data. The algorithm extends that proposed by Tanner and Wong for grouped right censored data to interval censored data. It applies multiple imputation and loca
