摘　　要：A class of estimators of the mean survival time with interval censored data are studied by unbiased transformation method. The estimators are constructed based on the observations to ensure unbiasedness in the sense that the estimators in a certain class have the same expectation as the mean survival time. The estimators have good properties such as strong consistency （with the rate of O（n^-1/1 （log log n）^1/2）） and asymptotic normality. The application to linear regression is considered and the simulation reports are given.A class of estimators of the mean survival time with interval censored data are studied by unbiased transformation method.
