On distribution-free tests for equality of survival distributions
Abstract
Two statistics for testing the equality of survival distributions in the presence of arbitarry right censorship, the log rank test statistic and the modified Wilcoxon test statictic, are shown to differ only in the choice of weights which are funcitons of the number of individuals at risk at the time of each death. A related statistic is proposed which may be more powerful across a range of alternatives than are the log rank statistic and the modified Wilcoxon statistic.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
