Early Decision in a Censored Wilcoxon Two-Sample Test for Accumulating Survival Data
累积生存数据的删失 Wilcoxon 两样本检验中的提前决策
For two-sample testing problems, in which observations are collected in order of size, Ailing [1] showed that it is possible to determine the outcome of an uncensored Wilcoxon test well before data collection is complete. This article studies a similar problem for a censoring scheme terminating the experiment when a specified percentage of events has occurred in either group. The asymptotic distributions (null and nonnull) of the test statistic (of Wilcoxon type) and of the…
