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
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
This paper considers the estimator of the hazard function with censored data due to Diehl and Stute [1988, Kernel density and hazard function estimation in the presence of censoring. J. Multivariate Anal. 25, 299 -310] Counting process martingal techniques are used to obtain three bounds for the err
