Nonparametric confidence bounds, using censored data, on the mean residual life

An approach to inverting confidence bounds on the failure rate to obtain conservative nonparametric confidence statements about the mean residual life (MRL) for type I and II censoring and random right (left) censoring is described. A mild nonparametric condition of increasing (or decreasing) MRL is used. The condition of increasing (or decreasing) MRL is not required for the whole time axis. All example which uses type II censored data is included.<
