Nonparametric Predictive Comparison of Two Groups of Lifetime Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the application of a recently introduced nonparametric predictive inferential method to compare two groups of data, consisting of observed event times and right-censoring times. Comparison is based on imprecise probabilities concerning one future observation per group.

Nonparametric Predictive Multiple Comparisons of Lifetime Data
We consider lifetime experiments to compare units from different groups, where the units’ lifetimes may be right-censored. Nonparametric predictive inference for comparison of multiple groups is presented, in particular lower and upper probabilities for the event that a specific group will provide the largest next lifetime. We include the practically relevant consideration that the overall life...
متن کاملNonparametric Predictive Comparison of Lifetime Data under Progressive Censoring
In reliability and lifetime testing, comparison of two groups of data is a common problem. In some lifetime experiments, making a quick and efficient decision is desirable in order to save time and costs. To this end, a progressive censoring scheme can be useful, with censoring occurring at different stages [2]. This paper presents a nonparametric predictive inference (NPI) approach to compare ...
متن کاملNonparametric predictive pairwise comparison with competing risks
In reliability, failure data often correspond to competing risks, where several failure modes can cause a unit to fail. This paper presents nonparametric predictive inference (NPI) for pairwise comparison with competing risks data, assuming that the failure modes are independent. These failure modes could be the same or different among the two groups, and these can be both observed and unobserv...
متن کاملNonparametric predictive precedence testing for two groups
Nonparametric predictive inference (NPI) is a statistical approach based on few assumptions about probability distributions, with inferences based on data. NPI assumes exchangeability of random quantities, both related to observed data and future observations, and uncertainty is quantified via lower and upper probabilities. In this paper, lifetimes of units from groups X and Y are compared, bas...
متن کاملPredictive comparison of joint longitudinal-survival modeling: a case study illustrating competing approaches.
The joint modeling of longitudinal and survival data has received extraordinary attention in the statistics literature recently, with models and methods becoming increasingly more complex. Most of these approaches pair a proportional hazards survival with longitudinal trajectory modeling through parametric or nonparametric specifications. In this paper we closely examine one data set previously...
