摘要
A method for estimating the survivor function of a life distribution from a set of censored data is presented. We illustrate the method and explain how to calculate the survivor function from a censored data set. The estimator is compared with the well-known Kaplan-Meier estimator, using a set of data observed in a real engineering situation. The advantages and disadvantages of the method are discussed.
