Abstract

Weighted log rank test is a widely applicable test when one is interested in detecting the differences between two groups. In man clinical trials it is common to see no differences in early experiments and does show significant differences later. We propose new weighted log rank test and illustrate it through an example. We also examine the empirical powers and show that the proposed test is more sensitive to detect late differences.

가중 로그 순위 검정은 생존분석에서 두 집단의 차이를 검정하는데 가장 많이 사용되는 검정이다. 생존실험에서 실험 초기에는 별다른 차이를 보이지 않다가 실험 중반을 넘어가며 집단간의 차이를 보이는 경우가 많은데 이러한 경우에 기존에 제시되어 있는 여러 가중 로그 순위 검정은 비효율적이다. 이 문제에 적당한 새로운 가중 로그 순위검정을 제시하며 예를 통해서 제시된 검정의 유용성을 살펴보고 모의실험을 통해 이들의 검정력도 조사한다. 제시된 검정은 후기 차이 검출에 매우 효율적이다.
