Abstract
The large-sample frequentist property of a frequentist bootstrap for a posterior mean with respect to a Dirichlet prior of the survival func tion for a randomly censored data is given. The weak convergence of a bootstrap version of the Susarla-Van Ryzin estimator is established on the whole real line. An illustration of the technique and some Monte Carlo studies are also given.
