On robust estimation of location for arbitrarily right-censored data

Stephanie J. Green and John J. Crowley

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1986, vol. 4, issue 6, 303-308

Abstract: Extension to censored data of classes of robust location estimators are discussed. Efficient estimators no longer exist, but linear functions of order statistics have a stability property, and variances can be lower than that of the Kaplan-Meier median.
