Nonparametric curve estimation by kernel methods has attracted widespread interest in theoretical and applied statistics. One area of conflict between theory and application relates to the evaluation of the performance of the estimators. Recently, Marron and Tsybakov (1995) proposed visual error criteria for addressing this issue of controversy in density estimation. Their core idea consists in using integrated alternatives to the Hausdorff distance for measuring the closeness of two sets based on the Euclidean distance. In this paper, we transfer these ideas to hazard rate estimation from censored data. We are able to derive similar results that help to understand when the application of the new criteria will lead to answers that differ from those given by the conventional approach.
