An Efficient Estimation of the Mean Residual Life Function with Length-Biased Right-Censored Data

The mean residual life (MRL) function for a lifetime random variable T0 is one of the basic parameters of interest in survival analysis. In this paper, we propose a new estimator of the MRL function with length-biased right-censored data and evaluate its performance through a small Monte Carlo simul...
