Two-Sample Inference for Median Survival Times Based on One-Sample Procedures for Censored Survival Data
基于单样本程序的删失生存时间中位数双样本推断
Confidence intervals for median survival times are derived for censored survival data. The intervals are obtained by using the quantiles of the Kaplan-Meier product-limit estimator and have the same Pitman efficiency as the intervals found by inverting the sign test. Two-sample tests and confidence intervals for the difference in median survival times are then developed based on the comparison of the one-sample confidence intervals. Several methods for choosing the…
