Confidence bands for percentile residual lifetimes

The presently available asymptotically distribution-free confidence bands for the percentile residual lifetime function are formed. Two types of these contain theoretically unknown constants which we determine by Monte Carlo simulation. The other two types of bands are based on the bootstrap. The four types of bands are compared in an example of estimating the median residual duration time of a British strike.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/30190/1/0000575.pd
