Strong representation results of the Kaplan-Meier estimator for censored negatively associated data

Asymptotic Properties of Kaplan-meier Estimator for Censored Dependent Data

In some long term studies, a series of dependent and possibly censored failure times may be observed. Suppose that the failure times have a common marginal distribution function, and inferences about it are of our interest. The main result of this paper is that of providing, under certain regularity conditions, the Kaplan-Meier estimator can be expressed as the mean of random variables, with a ...

Kaplan–Meier Estimator

The Kaplan–Meier estimator is a nonparametric estimator which may be used to estimate the survival distribution function from censored data. The estimator may be obtained as the limiting case of the classical actuarial (life table) estimator, and it seems to have been first proposed by Böhmer [2]. It was, however, lost sight of by later researchers and not investigated further until the importa...

Adaptive Data-Driven Inventory Control with Censored Demand Based on Kaplan-Meier Estimator

Using the well-known product-limit form of the Kaplan-Meier estimator from statistics, we propose a new class of nonparametric adaptive data-driven policies for stochastic inventory control problems. We focus on the distribution-free newsvendor model with censored demands. The assumption is that the demand distribution is not known and there are only sales data available. We study the theoretic...
