On Weak Convergence of an Estimator of the Survival Function when New is Better than Used of a Specified Age
指定年龄下“新优于旧”约束生存函数估计量的弱收敛
A survival function S is said to be in the New Better than Used of age t 0 (NBU-t 0) class if S(x + t 0) ≤ S(t 0)S(x) for all x ≥ 0. Reneau and Samaniego proposed an estimator Ŝ n for S when S is known as a member of the NBU-t 0 class. Many properties of Ŝ n were studied by Reneau and Samaniego. The problems of the weak convergence of Wn = √n (Ŝ n − S), however, was not solved. In this article, we show that the weak convergence of Wn does not hold in general and establish…
