Abstract
The paper deals with estimation models using censored life time data. First, a short survey on parametric and nonparametric estimation is given for i.i.d. life times under censorship without repair. Special investigations are made for Koziol-Green models. In the second part, a general failure-repair model described by counting processes is considered. Under the Koziol-Green condition some results concerning Bayes estimation and the nuisance parameter case are obtained.
