Maximum likelihood estimator is obtained for the mortality rate function of a specific type appearing in survival data andysis. Strict consistency of this estimator is proved.

## Abstract Recently, Fridman and Harris proposed a method which allows one to approximate the likelihood of the basic stochastic volatility model. They also propose to estimate the parameters of such a model maximising the approximate likelihood by an algorithm which makes use of numerical derivat
The likelihood function for the bivariate survivor function F, under independent censorship, is maximized to obtain a non-parametric maximum likelihood estimator F K . F K may or may not be unique depending on the con"guration of singly-and doubly-censored pairs. The likelihood function can be maxim
