Abstract

Consider the Kaplan-Meier estimate of the distribution function for right randomly censored data. We show that a U-statistic defined via this estimate is asymptotically normal. Under a condition of degeneracy, different from the degeneracy condition in uncensored models, it has an asymptotic nonnormal distribution.
