Let T be a nonnegative random variable representing the lifetimes of individuals in some population. Let f(t) denote the probability density function of T and F(t) denote the distribution function of T, the hazard function of T defined as  F(t) - 1 S(t)  whereS(t) f(t) h(t) ï½ ï½ If equation (1) integrated we have cumulative hazard function H (t). This paper describes application of kernel method for estimation of hazard function h (.) based censoring data. And then we will show that the hazard estimator is unbiased asymptotically, consistent, and normal asymptotically. Key word: kernel methods, estimation hazard function.
