Abstract
In this paper we obtain exact rates of uniform convergence for oscillation moduli and Lipschitz-1/2 moduli of PL-process and cumulative hazard process when the data are subject to left truncation and right censorship. Based on these results, the exact rates of uniform convergence for various types of density and hazard function estimators are derived.
