A Histogram Estimator of the Hazard Rate with Censored Data
删失数据下风险率的直方图估计量
A histogram type estimator of the hazard rate of lifetimes which are randomly right-censored is studied. This estimator is based on random spacings of the order statistics of uncensored observations and extends the idea of the histogram density estimation suggested by Van Ryzin (1973) to censored data. In this paper we establish pointwise large sample properties of the estimator including strong consistency, strong uniform consistency on a bounded interval, and two…
