Abstract

We introduce a Kaplan-Meier U-statistic of degree two for randomly censored data and prove a strong law for it. We use the technique of Stute and Wang by identifying appropriate reverse-time supermartingale processes. This approach avoids the stringent assumptions of Gijbels and Veraverbeke who consider similar functionals.
