Abstract: We consider parametric inference for right-censored data where the survival times and the corresponding censoring status cannot be determined from the data. We develop point and interval prediction for a future number of surviving units. The performance of the proposed methods are assessed by means of a simulation study, and an application of the proposed methods is illustrated using a real data set.

Keywords: Right-censored data; parametric; survival distribution; loss function; prediction interval
