Estimating convolutions from partially censored data

S. W. LAGAKOS and N. REID

An estimator is proposed for the convolution of distribution functions, based on samples with some right-censored observations. The asymptotic variance of the estimator is calculated, and the method is illustrated with a set of cancer data.

Key Words: Hodgkin's disease • Product-limit estimator • Survival data
