Abstract

In this paper, we consider how to estimate New Better Than Used (NBU) survival curves from randomly right censored data. We propose several possible NBU estimators and study their properties. Numerical studies indicate that the proposed estimators are appropriate in practical use. Some useful examples are presented.
