Estimating Location Parameters Using Censored Rank Statistics

In this paper censored data rank location estimators are obtained by using censored one-sample rank test statistics of the location parameter and censored two-sample rank test statistics of the shift of location parameter. Also, methods for constructing censored small sample confidence intervals and asymptotic confidence intervals for the location are considered. Generalizations of the solutions from uncensored one-sample and two-sample rank tests are utilized.
