Two Nonparametric Estimators of the Mean Residual Life
| Resumo: | The mean residual life function L(t) can be written based on the vitality function V (t). In this article we propose two methods to estimate V (t). The two methods are based on both the kernel density estimation and the empirical function. In addition, we evaluate the mean square error of the two estimators and we study the consistency for both of them. |
