Equivalence between the Dependent Right Censorship Model and the Independent Right Censorship Model ()
Affiliation(s)
ABSTRACT
Yu et al. (2012) considered a certain dependent right censorship model. We show that this model is equivalent to the independent right censorship model, extending a result with continuity restriction in Williams and Lagakos (1977). Then the asymptotic normality of the product limit estimator under the dependent right censorship model follows from the existing results in the literature under the independent right censorship model, and thus partially solves an open problem in the literature.
