Abstract

In this paper, we define the mean life process for the right censored data and show the asymptotic equivalence between two kinds of the mean life processes. We use the Kaplan-Meier and Susarla-Van Ryzin estimates as the estimates of survival function for the construction of the mean life processes. Also we show the asymptotic equivalence between two mean residual life processes as an application and finally discuss some difficulties caused by the censoring mechanism.
