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

β¦ Synopsis
This paper discusaes the application of randomization testa to censored survival distributions. The three types of censoring considered are those designated by MILLER (1981) as Type 1 (fixed time termination), Type 2 (termination of experiment at r-th failure), and random censoring. Examples utilize the Gehan scoring procedure. Randomization testa for which computer programs already exist can be applied to a variety of experimental designs, regardless of the presence of censored observations.

We consider optimal test plans involving life distributions with failure-free life, i.e., where there is an unknown threshold parameter below which no failure will occur. These distributions do not satisfy the regularity conditions and thus the usual approach of using the Fisher information matrix 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
I create a general model to perform score tests on interval censored data. Special cases of this model are the score tests of Finkelstein, Sun and Fay. Although Sun's was derived as a test for discrete data and Finkelstein's and Fay's tests were derived under a grouped continuous model, by writing a
