Assume that the benefit of screening for breast cancer with a combination of mammography and a clinical examination is measured by comparing the five-year survival rate of women detected by screening to the five-year survival rate of women who surface clinically with breast cancer, e.g., to the surv
Variance estimators are derived for estimators of the average lead time and average benefit time due to screening in a randomized screening trial via influence functions. The influence functions demonstrate that these estimators are asymptotically equivalent to the mean difference, between the study
