Precedence Tests for Right-Censored Data: An Overview and Some Results

摘要

In the paper, precedence type tests are considered when the data contain someright-censored observations. Generalizing the precedence statistic for uncensored data, the precedence tests for censored data are based on the Kaplan-Meier estimators of the respective distribution functions and the corresponding quantile functions. An overview of the literature is given for the two-sample as well as some multi-sample problems. Some further problems are indicated.
