Abstract
In this article, we investigate various asymptotic properties (bias, variance, mean squared error, mean integrated squared error, asymptotic normality, uniform strong consistency) for Bernstein estimators of quantiles and cumulative distribution functions when the variable of interest is subject to random right-censored. In this work, we extend to the case of censored data the results of Leblanc and Babu, Canty and Chaubey. A simulation study is considered to show the performance of the proposed estimator.
