Abstract

In this paper, for whole line ($0,\;{\infty}$), the estimation procedure of mean residual life function using product-limit estimator is studied with asymptotic properties. And also, the small sample properties of proposed estimator of MRLF are investigated through Monte Carlo study and compared with Kaplan-Meier type estimator.
