A nonparametric test for change in randomly censored data
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple method for checking the assumption of identical distribution in a sequence of censored data is presented. It is based on a generalization of Wilcoxon’s rank statistic. The authors demonstrate the usefulness of this technique on the Stanford Heart Transplant and on the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group data. Easy to interpret plots give visual aid to interpret the type of change.

Nonparametric Estimation of the Survival Function Based on Censored Data with Additional Observations from the Residual Distribution
We derive the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (NPMLE) of the distribution of the test items using a random, right-censored sample combined with an additional right-censored, residual-lifetime sample in which only lifetimes past a known, fixed time are collected. This framework is suited for samples for which individual test data are combined with left-truncated and randomly censored ...
متن کاملNonparametric Goodness-of-Fit Tests for Discrete, Grouped or Censored Data
The problems of application of nonparametric Kolmogorov, Cramer-von MisesSmirnov, Anderson-Darling goodness-of-fit tests for discrete, grouped and censored data have been considered in this paper. The use of these tests for grouped and censored data as well as samples of discrete random variables is based on Smirnov transformation. The convergence of statistic distributions to the corresponding...
متن کاملA generalization of Turnbull's estimator for nonparametric estimation of the conditional survival function with interval-censored data.
Simple nonparametric estimates of the conditional distribution of a response variable given a covariate are often useful for data exploration purposes or to help with the specification or validation of a parametric or semi-parametric regression model. In this paper we propose such an estimator in the case where the response variable is interval-censored and the covariate is continuous. Our appr...
متن کاملImproved Cramer-Rao Inequality for Randomly Censored Data
As an application of the improved Cauchy-Schwartz inequality due to Walker (Statist. Probab. Lett. (2017) 122:86-90), we obtain an improved version of the Cramer-Rao inequality for randomly censored data derived by Abdushukurov and Kim (J. Soviet. Math. (1987) pp. 2171-2185). We derive a lower bound of Bhattacharya type for the mean square error of a parametric function based on randomly censor...
متن کاملTesting additivity in nonparametric regression under random censorship
In this paper, we are concerned with nonparametric estimation of the multivariate regression function in the presence of right censored data. More precisely, we propose a statistic that is shown to be asymptotically normally distributed under the additive assumption, and that could be used to test for additivity in the censored regression setting.
