Failure times are often right censored and left truncated. In this paper we give a mass redistribution algorithm for right-censored and/or left-truncated failure time data. We show that this algorithm yields the Kaplan-Meier estimator of the survival probability. One application of this algorithm in modeling the subdistribution hazard for competing risks data is studied. We give a product-limit estimator of the Cumulative incidence function via modeling the subdistribution hazard. We show by induction that this product-limit estimator is identical to the left-truncated version of Aalen-Johansen [1978. An empirical transition matrix for nonhomogeneous Markov chains based on censored observations. Scandinavian Journal of Statistics 5, 141-150] estimator for the cumulative incidence function.
