文摘In this article we construct a kernel estimate of the probability function from bivariate data when a component is subject to random left-truncation. We establish consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator using a strong approximation result. Simulation studies show that the proposed procedure gives a good estimate of the true density function even when the sample size is moderate.
