Recently Jammalamadaka and Mangalam (2003) introduced a general censoring scheme called the “middle-censoring” scheme in non-parametric set up. In this paper we consider this middle censoring scheme when the lifetime distribution of the items are exponentially distributed and the censoring mechanism is independent and non-informative. In this set up, we derive the maximum likelihood estimator a...

Computer-held information is increasingly shared between general practice and hospitals and with the provisions of the Data Protection Act now in operation, the practical issues of disclosure to patients need to be reviewed. Patients attending diabetic clinics at University Hospital, Nottingham, are routinely issued with a copy of their computerheld record but a previous study showed a high lev...

It has been recently shown that nonparametric estimators of the additive regression function could be obtained in the presence of right censoring by coupling the marginal integration method with initial kerneltype Inverse Probability of Censoring Weighted estimators of the multivariate regression function [10]. In this paper, we get the exact rate of strong uniform consistency for such estimato...
