Abstract: Censoring is inevitable in survival analysis. The motivating factor for this article concerns the way censored subjects are incorporated in estimation of survival function for grouped data. In practice, the Actuarial estimator of a survival function may be biased due to unevenly distribution of censored subjects within intervals. This article prese... Show More
