Truncated data plays an important role in the statistical analysis of astronomical observations as well as in survival analysis. The motivating example for this paper concerns a set of measurements on quasars in which there is double truncation. That is, the quasars are only observed if their luminosity occurs within a certain finite interval, bounded at both ends, with the interval varying for different observations. Nonparametric methods for the testing and estimation of doubly truncated data are developed.
