The Kaplan-Meier and Fleming-Harrington estimator in the frequentist approach are functional methods.

we compare in this article the different bayesian structures of the Kaplan-Meier and Fleming-Harrington estimators through the information deviance criterion in a real example describes the duration of unemployment of 1064 individuals in an employment agency.

employment at the local employment agency in Ain el Benian.
