摘要
We prove a new exponential inequality for the Kaplan-Meier estimator of a distribution function in a right censored data model. This inequality is of the same type as the Dvoretzky-Kiefer-Wolfowitz inequality for the empirical distribution function in the non-censored case. Our approach is based on Duhamel equation which allows to use empirical process theory. (C) Elsevier, Paris.
