✦ Synopsis

The location shift model is commonly used to quantify the difference between groups in a two-arm study. Nonparametric inference procedures for the location shift parameter with censored observations have recently been extensively studied. However, the validity of these procedures depends heavily on the model assumption. In this article, a class of graphical and numerical methods are proposed for checking the adequacy of the location shift model. Our graphical procedures are much less subjective than the eye-ball method based on the standard Q-Q plot. The proposed methods are illustrated with real-life examples.

The latency time of an infectious disease is de"ned as the time from infection to disease onset. This paper applies the proportional hazards model to estimate the e!ect of covariates on latency when the time of disease onset is exact or right-censored but the time of infection is interval-censored.
