Estimation of Mean Residual Life under Random Censorship Model Using Partial Moment Approximation |
|
|
|
|
ABSTRACT |
In this paper we propose a parametric and a nonparametric small sample estimators for the mean residual life (MRL) under the random censorship model using the partial moment approximation. We also compare the proposed nonparametric estimator with the well-known nonparametric MRL estimator based on Kaplan-Meier estimator of the survival function, and present the efficiency of the nonparametric method relative to the Weibull model for small samples. |
