Equivalence between the Dependent Right Censorship Model and the Independent Right Censorship Model ()
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.
