A Nonparametric Estimator of the Survival Function under Progressive Censoring,
Abstract
A nonparametric estimator of the survival function F is constructed from time-sequential progressively censored data when F is a Dirichlet process. The estimator is shown to encompass several known estimators of F including the product-limit estimator and Ferguson's estimator. (Author)
