An i.i.d. representation is obtained, the asymptotic mean squared error of the latency estimator is found, and its asymptotic normality is proven. A bootstrap bandwidth selection method is introduced and its efficiency is evaluated in a simulation study. The proposed methods are applied to a dataset of colorectal cancer patients in the University Hospital of A Coruña (CHUAC).engCopyright © 2016, Sociedad de Estadística e Investigación OperativaBandwidth selectionBootstrapCensored dataKernel estimationSurvival analysisjournal articleopen access
