The nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator for middle-censored data Abstract on any interval [a,b], a r b for which F 0 ðbÞ 4F 0 ðaÀÞ. Observe that if A 0 (x)=1 on any interval where F 0 has a positive mass, then censoring occurs with probability 1 on such an interval. As a consequence, there will be no observations on the Contents lists available at ScienceDirect In this note, we consider data subjec
