We are mainly concerned with kernel-type estimators for the moment-generating function in the present paper. More precisely, we establish the central limit theorem with the characterization of the bias and the variance for the nonparametric recursive kernel-type estimators for the moment-generating function under some mild conditions in the censored data setting. Finally, we investigate the methodology’s performance for small samples through a short simulation study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
