β¦ Synopsis
We previously proposed a class of ordered weighted logrank tests for analyzing censored survival data under order restrictions. However the power of these tests is asymmetrical with respect to possible alternative configurations and could be inferior to the non-ordered logrank test in extreme cases. A modified ordered logrank test is proposed to remedy this situation. The test is shown to be asymptotically locally equivalent to the generalized Jonckheere's test but computationally simpler. (~

In clinical trials where the treatment groups correspond to increasing dosages of a substance and the outcome is the possibly right-censored time to a certain event, it is desirable to test for increases or decreases in survival times with increasing dose. Furthermore, it may be of interest to study
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
## Abstract The exact generalization of GEHAN's (1965) twoβsample test for arbitrarily censored survival data has been overlooked by subsequent work on the multisample problem. We give this general covariance matrix and show how it may be used in test procedures. While this permutation test is less
A nonparametric test is presented to test for ordered alternatives of the treatment effecta when the data follow a two-way layout. The observations are subject to arbitrary right censorehip. The test is similar to the one developed by H s r r a r a ~s ~m a m and NORTON (1987) for uncensored observat
