In the analysis of lifetime data, under some circumstances, censoring times are missing or only known within an interval (e.g., warranty data or medical data). Motivated by such examples, we consider a statistical model in which censoring times are incomplete. In this talk, we will present a new iterative method to obtain a nonparametric estimator of the survival function and conduct a simulation study to discuss its property. A real data application will also be presented.
