Summary: We give a functional law of the iterated logarithm for the increment functions of empirical processes with twice censored data. In this setting, the lifetime of interest \(X\) is right censored by a variable \(R\) and \(\min (X, R)\) is itself left censored by a variable \(L\). This model is however characterized by the independence of the latent variables \(X\), \(R\) and \(L\). We also derive strong laws for kernel estimators of the density and the failure rate of the lifetime \(X\). Our result extends the results available for complete or singly censored data.
