A general class of function-indexed nonparametric tests for survival analysis
生存分析中由函数索引的一般非参数检验类
Many of the popular nonparametric test statistics for censored survival data used in two-sample, $k$-sample trend and continuous covariate situations are special cases of a general statistic, differing only in the choice of the covariate-based label and the weight function. A weight function determines the asymptotic efficiency of its corresponding statistic in this general class. Since the true alternatives are often unknown, we may not be able to foresee which weight…
