Life Table Analysis using Weighted Survey Data

چکیده
Formulas for constructing valid pointwise confidence bands for survival distributions, estimated using unequal probability samples, are derived. In addition, a test statistic for comparing estimated survival distributions from several groups is proposed. The methodology can be applied when survival times are subject to an independent censoring mechanism. The methods are illustrated using data from the Panel Survey on Income Dynamics on time until first home purchase, broken down by race and education level.
