Description Non-parametric estimates of survival and hazard function belongs to the basic instruments in survival analysis. In previous papers methods of kernel estimates involving growth models of cancer cells were designed by author's colleagues. To verify the quality of these the tests on the simulated data were suggested. During the test procedure some theoretical problems appeared. They concerned especially additional requests for distribution of simulated censoring data. The problems were largely resolved and estimation procedures were successfully tested on simulated data. This paper summarizes the achievements.
