An Aligned Rank Test for Censored Data from Randomized Block Designs
随机区组设计中删失数据的对齐秩检验
The aligned rank test of Hodges & Lehmann (1962) is extended to censored survival data collected in matched pairs or randomized blocks. The test statistic for matched pairs is a direct extension of the original aligned rank test, whereas the test statistic for use with block size k>2 is constructed from the paired data statistics comparing all possible pairs of treatments. The efficiency of recovery of interblock information with censored matched pairs is examined by…
