✦ Synopsis


A test ia developed to determine whether the mean survival times are equal when dealing with paired survival dafe.

We meume the data follow a bivariata exponential distribution for which the variables are conditionally independent. The unconditional distribution is derived in which the distribution of the nuimnce variable is general.

A method baaed on the likelihood ratio is derived to obtain the test. The data 8re allowed to have both left and right censoring.

A coninion testing problem for a life table or survival date is to test the equality of two survival distributions when the data is both grouped end censored. Several tests have been proposed in the literature which require various assumptions about the censoring distributions. It is shown that if t
