Abstract

Confidence intervals for survival function give useful information about the lifetime distribution. In this paper we develop Edgeworkth expansions as approximation to the true and bootstrap distributions of normalized nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of survival function in the Koziol-Green model and then use these results to show that the bootstrap approximations have second order accuracy.
