Conditional Distribution-Free Tests for the Two-Sample Problem in the Presence of Right Censoring
右删失下两样本问题的条件分布无关检验
Two-sample rank tests for survival data in the presence of arbitrary right censoring are considered. We distinguish between administrative censoring, arising because survival study participants do not enter as a cohort, and censoring due to “loss to follow-up.” We show how conditionally distribution-free tests can be constructed in certain situations. Conditional versions of the generalized Wilcoxon and Mantel statistics are shown to be asymptotically normal in the…
