Let be the Kaplan-Meier integral process constructed from the random censorship model. We prove a uniform central limit theorem for {Un} under the bracketing entropy condition and mild conditions due to the censoring effects. We also prove a sequential version of the uniform central limit theorem that will give a functional law of the iterated logarithm of Strassen type.
