A comparison of several methods of estimating the survival function when there is extreme right censoring.
When there is extreme censoring on the right, the Kaplan-Meier product-limit estimator is known to be a biased estimator of the survival function. Several modifications of the Kaplan-Meier estimator are examined and compared with respect to bias and mean squared error.
