Estimation of Survival Distributions Under Right-Censoring When Sample Size is Random

The paper deals with two classes of unbiased nonparametric estimators of survival and cumulative hazard functions in a population subject to right-censoring. Both classes of estimators are based on a sequential sampling scheme, and are similar to the well-known Kaplan-Meier and Nelson-Aalen estimato...
