Abstract
In this paper, we study Kaplan-Meier V- and U-statistics respectively defined as \theta (\widehat{F}_{n})=\sum _{i,j}K(X_{[i:n]},X_{[j:n]})W_{i}W_{j} and \theta _{U}(\widehat{F}_{n})=\sum _{i\neq j}K(X_{[i:n]},X_{[j:n]})W_{i}W_{j}/\sum _{i\neq j}W_{i}W_{j}, where \widehat{F}_{n} is the Kaplan-Meier estimator, \{W_{1},\ldots ,W_{n}\} are the Kaplan-Meier weights and K:(0,\infty )^{2}\to \mathbb{R} is a symmetric kernel. As in the canonical setting of uncensored data, we differentiate between two asymptotic behaviours for \theta (\widehat{F}_{n}) and \theta _{U}(\widehat{F}_{n}). Additionally, we derive an asymptotic canonical V-statistic representation of the Kaplan-Meier V- and U-statistics. By using this representation we study properties of the asymptotic distribution. Applications to hypothesis testing are given.
