摘要
This note focuses on estimating the mean residual life function with left-truncated and right-censored data. We show that the proposed estimator converges weakly to a Gaussian process. The performances of the estimator and its pointwise confidence intervals are illustrated through simulation studies. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
