Nonparametric estimation of quantile functions for randomly right censored data
Tóm tắt
In this paper we compare four nonparametric quantile function estimators for randomly right censored data: the Kaplan–Meier estimator, the linearly interpolated Kaplan–Meier estimator, the kernel-type survival function estimator, and the Bézier curve smoothing estimator. Also, we compare several kinds of confidence intervals of quantiles for four nonparametric quantile function estimators.
