We derive a simultaneous conΓΏdence band for the ratio of two survival functions based on independent right-censored data. Earlier authors have studied such bands for the di erence of two survival functions, but the ratio provides a more appropriate comparison in some applications, e.g., in comparing
It has been shown that (with complete data) empirical likelihood ratios can be used to form confidence intervals and test hypotheses about a linear functional of the distribution function just like the parametric case. We study here the empirical likelihood ratios for right censored data and with pa
We prove that the power function of the likelihood ratio test for MANOVA attains its minimum when the rank of the location parameter matrix G decreases from s to 1. This provides a theoretical justification of a result that is known in the literature based only on numerical studies.
In this paper, we employ the method of empirical likelihood to construct confidence intervals for M-functionals in the presence of auxiliary information under a nonparametric setting. The modified empirical likelihood confidence intervals which make use of the knowledge of auxiliary information are
