Improving the efficiency of the log-rank test using auxiliary covariates
利用辅助协变量提高对数秩检验的效率
Under the assumption of proportional hazards, the log-rank test is optimal for testing the null hypothesis , where denotes the logarithm of the hazard ratio. However, if there are additional covariates that correlate with survival times, making use of their information will increase the efficiency of the log-rank test. We apply the theory of semiparametrics to characterize a class of regular and asymptotically linear estimators for when auxiliary covariates are incorporated…
