Weighted Kaplan-Meier statistics: a class of distance tests for censored survival data.
A class of statistics based on the integrated weighted difference in Kaplan-Meier estimators is introduced for the two-sample censored data problem. With positive weight functions these statistics are intuitive for and sensitive against the alternative of stochastic ordering. The standard weighted log-rank statistics are not always sensitive against this alternative, particularly if the hazard ...
متن کاملUsing weighted Kaplan-Meier statistics in nonparametric comparisons of paired censored survival outcomes.
This research introduces methods for nonparametric testing of weighted integrated survival differences in the context of paired censored survival designs. The current work extends work done by Pepe and Fleming (1989, Biometrics 45, 497-507), which considered similar test statistics directed toward independent treatment group comparisons. An asymptotic closed-form distribution of the proposed fa...
متن کاملSimultaneous group sequential analysis of rank-based and weighted Kaplan-Meier tests for paired censored survival data.
This research sequentially monitors paired survival differences using a new class of nonparametric tests based on functionals of standardized paired weighted log-rank (PWLR) and standardized paired weighted Kaplan-Meier (PWKM) tests. During a trial, these tests may alternately assume the role of the more extreme statistic. By monitoring PEMAX, the maximum between the absolute values of the stan...
متن کاملA Macro for Calculating Summary Statistics on Left Censored Environmental Data using the Kaplan-Meier Method
Calculating summary statistics such as the mean, standard deviation, and an upper confidence limit on the mean is straightforward when the data values are known. However, environmental data often are reported from the analytical laboratory as left censored, meaning the actual concentration for a given contaminant was not detected above the method detection limit. Therefore, the true concentrati...
متن کاملAsymptotic Properties of Kaplan-meier Estimator for Censored Dependent Data
In some long term studies, a series of dependent and possibly censored failure times may be observed. Suppose that the failure times have a common marginal distribution function, and inferences about it are of our interest. The main result of this paper is that of providing, under certain regularity conditions, the Kaplan-Meier estimator can be expressed as the mean of random variables, with a ...
