• Correlated times-to-events
• Follow-up intervals
• Residual life
• Restricted mean survival

We provide a nonparametric estimate of tau-restricted mean survival using follow-up information beyond tau when appropriate to improve precision. The variance accounts for correlation between follow-up windows. Both asymptotic calculations and simulation studies recommend follow-up intervals spaced approximately tau/2 apart.
