We study nonparametric estimation of univariate cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) pertaining to data missing at random. The proposed estimators smooth the inverse probability weighted (IPW) empirical CDF with the Bernstein operator, yielding monotone, $[0,1]$-valued curves that automatically adapt to bounded supports. We analyze two versions: a pseudo estimator that uses known propensities and a feasible estimator that uses propensities estimated nonparametrically from discrete auxiliary variables, the latter scenario being much more common in practice. For both, we derive pointwise bias and variance expansions, establish the optimal polynomial degree $m$ with respect to the mean integrated squared error, and prove the asymptotic normality. A key finding is that the feasible estimator has a smaller variance than the pseudo estimator by an explicit nonnegative correction term. We also develop an efficient degree selection procedure via least-squares cross-validation. Monte Carlo experiments show that, for small to moderate sample sizes, the Bernstein-smoothed pseudo and feasible estimators outperform their unsmoothed counterparts and the integrated version of the IPW kernel density estimator proposed by Dubnicka (2009), under certain models. A real-data application to fasting plasma glucose from the 2017-2018 NHANES survey illustrates the method in a practical setting. All code needed to reproduce our analyses is readily accessible on GitHub.
