A Modified Log Rank Test for Highly Stratified Data
高度分层数据的修正对数秩检验
Clinical trials often employ a stratified randomization so that treatment arms are balanced within prognostic factors. In these circumstances the use of the ordinary log rank test for comparing treatment groups with respect to survival is invalid. The stratified log rank test, although valid, loses efficiency as the number of strata increases. This paper proposes a modified log rank test that is fully efficient when there is no strata effect and is more efficient than the…
