Lifetime data is often right-censored. Recent literature on the Gini index estimation with
censored data focuses on independent censoring. However, the censoring mechanism is …

We obtain a simple non-parametric estimator of the Gini index when the sample contains
right censored observations. Asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator are studied …

The quantile residual lifetime function is a comprehensive quantitative description of a
residual lifetime. Under the assumption of independent censoring, a naive estimator for the …

Often, observed income and survival data are incomplete because of left-or right-censoring
or left-or right-truncation. Measuring inequality (for instance, by the Gini index of …

Summary Since Corrado Gini suggested the index that bears his name as a way of
measuring inequality, the computation of variance of the Gini index has been subject to …

We apply the well known Gini index to the measurement of concentration in survival times
within groups of patients, and as a way to compare the distribution of survival times across …

In this paper, a nonparametric method is proposed for the estimation of decreasing mean
residual life with type II censored data. This method is based on the comparison between …

This article proposes a simple nonparametric estimator of quantile residual lifetime function
under left-truncated and right-censored data. The asymptotic consistency and normality of …

We propose a censored quantile regression estimator motivated by unbiased estimating
equations. Under the usual conditional independence assumption of the survival time and …

The quantile residual lifetime function provides comprehensive quantitative measures for
residual life, especially when the distribution of the latter is skewed or heavy‐tailed and/or …
