Consider the linear model Yi=XiTβ+∈i, i=1, 2,…, n, in which theresponse variable Yi is censored randomly on the right and what we can see are Zi=min(Yi, Ti) andδi=I(Yi≤Ti); and also the covariable Xi is hard or costly tomeasure, what we can do is to find a relative variable (?)i that is easy to get, anduse the regression function E[X|(?)] to instead Xi. In this article, we adjust Yi toYi*=δiφ1(Zi)+(1-δi)φ2(Zi) as similar to Class K estimation, and use the datas{(Xj,(?)j)}j=n+1n+N to estimate the regression function E[X|(?)]. And finally, we give aclass of semiparametric estimators for vectorβ, and prove the asymptomic normalityfor them.In section 1, we give some introduction about censored data,estimators of pa-rameters in linear regression models with censored data, and what's more, the kernelestimation for regression function. In section 2, we give the linear error-in-covariablesmodel under random censorshipand give a class of semiparametric estimators for it. First, we adjust the random cen-sored data Yi to Yi*=δiφ1(Zi)+(1-δi)φ2(Zi), and so Yi*=μT((?)i)β+e'i, andthen we get the estimatorsβn by the Least Square Estimation. Because the regres-sion function is always unknown, so we use the datas {(Xj, (?)j)}j=n+1n+N to estimateE[X|(?)] inβn, and finally we get the estimators (?)n,N forβ. Under some conditions,we give the asymptomic normality for (?)n,N. In section 3, we give the proof of theconclusion and section 4, the postscript.
