Hazard-Based Nonparametric Survivor Function Estimation
基于风险函数的非参数生存函数估计
Summary A representation is developed that expresses the bivariate survivor function as a function of the hazard function for truncated failure time variables. This leads to a class of nonparametric survivor function estimators that avoid negative mass. The transformation from hazard function to survivor function is weakly continuous and compact differentiable, so that such properties as strong consistency, weak convergence to a Gaussian process and bootstrap applicability…
