Credibility weighting is helpful in many insurance applications where sparse data crave information from other sources of data. In this paper we aim at estimating a hazard curve using the nonparametric kernel method, where a credibility weighting principle is used locally, so that areas of sparse data for one subgroup can be alleviated by available information from other subgroups. The credibility estimator is found through a Hilbert space projection formulation of Buhlmann-Straub's credibility approach.
