✦ Synopsis


This note compares the small-sample efficiency of the extended Theil-Sen estimator to the modified Buckley-James estimator when the predictor is random. Included are situations where the error term is heteroscedastic. In terms of their standard errors, the extended Theil-Sen estimator is found to offer a substantial advantage in various situations, while the modified Buckley-James estimator never offers an advantage when there is 20% or 50% censoring.

The point availability of a one-unit system at a specified time is defined as the probability that the component is operating at that time. When both operating time and repair time are subject to random (right) censorship, we propose an asymptotic nonparametric approach for constructing confidence i
