Quantile Comparison Functions in Two-Sample Problems, with Application to Comparisons of Diagnostic Markers
两样本分位数比较函数及其诊断标志物应用
In this article a control percentile test, a chi-squared test, and a Kolmogorov-type test are proposed for comparing two distributions from incomplete survival data. These tests are obtained by examining a vertical shift comparison function at a single point, a finite number of points, and an entire set of points on an interval. The proposed methods also have applications in receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, which has been widely used in such diverse fields…
