Under the presence of censoring, a reasonable estimator for some target functions should be able to ‘eliminate’ the effect of censoring somehow. We refer to such an estimator as a genuine estimator. This paper investigates genuine estimators for univariate and multivariate survival functions under right censoring. The estimation for mark survival function is also discussed.
