SCHEMPER Abetrnct Two nonparametric proceduree are propoeed for the problem of teeting association between two continoue variables, when one ie subject to arbitrary censoring. The main advantages of the two teets-generalizatione of MANTEL'S (1066) and BRXSLOW'S (1070) E-eample testa for ceneored data-are: accurate. control over the eize of the teat, no restrictive Bseumptione concerniiig ceneoring mechanieme, theoretical properties eimilar tQ thoee already explored for Mantel'e and Breslow'e teets, cloee relationship to deecriptive meaeurea of aaaociation, namely generalized Kendall correlation coefficients, to which part of the paper is devoted. Finally etratified analpeee are dieciieeed and cnlculated examples preaented.
