Introduction</title><p>In survival data analysis, response random variable (r.v.) Z, the survival time of a individual (in medical study) or failure time of a machine (in industrial study) that usually can be influenced by r.v. X, is often called prognostic factor (or covariate). X represents e.g. the dose of a drug for individual or some environmental conditions of a machine (temperature, pressure,…). Moreover, in such practical situations it often occurs that not all of survival times <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/10-7402407x5.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> of n identical objects are complete observed, that they can be censored by other r.v.-s.</p><p>In this article we consider a regression model in which the response r.v.-s are subjected to random censoring from both sides.</p><p>We first introduce some notations.
