Nonparametric Analysis of Bivariate Censored Data

af Edward Popovich

Abstract: A class of statistics is proposed for the problem of testing for location difference using censored matched pair data. The class consists of linear combinations of two conditionally independent statistics where the conditioning is on the number, N , of pairs in which both members are uncensored and the number, N¿, of pairs in which exactly one member is uncensored. Since every member of the class is conditionally distribution-free under the null hypothesis, H : no location difference, ... (Læs mere)
