Empirical Likelihood Ratio Confidence Intervals for Mean with Censored Data

We propose a procedure to construct the empirical likelihood ratio confidence intervals for mean (Owen, 1988) using a resampling method (Ren, 1994). In a unified way, this proposed method applies to different types of censored data, such as right censored data, doubly censored data and interval censored data. The consistency of the procedure is shown and some simulation results are presented The proposed method is applied to a set of doubly censored breast cancer data.
