Abstract

In the literature much work has been devoted to the non-parametric estimation of survival analysis functions. In this work, we focus on the nonparametric estimation of the conditional hazard rate and the point of its maximum, in the model of right censored data with presence of functional covariate. We establish the almost uniform complete convergence of these estimators at appropriate rates. This generalizes the almost sure convergence obtained in the literature.

Dans la littérature beaucoup de travaux ont été consacrés à l'estimation non-paramétrique des fonctions d'analyse de survie. Dans ce travail, nous nous focalisons sur l'estimation non-paramétrique du taux de hasard conditionnel et du point de son maximum, dans le modèle des données censurées à droite et en présence de covariable fonctionnelle. Nous établissons la convergence uniforme presque complète de ces estimateurs à des vitesses appropriées. Ce qui généralise la convergence presque sûre obtenue dans la littérature.
