Strong Asymptotic Properties of Kernel Smoothing Estimation for NA Random Variables with Right Censoring

Statistics Theory 2023-02-02 v6 Statistics Theory

Abstract

Most studies for negatively associated (NA) random variables consider the complete-data situation, which is actually a relatively ideal condition in practice. The paper relaxes this condition to the incomplete-data setting and considers kernel smoothing density and hazard function estimation in the presence of right censoring based on the Kaplan-Meier estimator. We establish the strong asymptotic properties for these two estimators to assess their asymptotic behavior and justify their practical use.
