Large Sample Theory for an Estimator of the Mean Survival Time from Censored Samples
This paper introduces and studies the large sample properties of an estimator for the mean survival time from censored samples. Let $X_1, \cdots, X_n$ be independent identically distributed random variables with $F(x) = P\lbrack X_1 > x \rbrack.$ Let $Y_1, \cdots, Y_n$ be independent identically distributed (and independent of $X_1, …
