Book Chi squared Goodness of fit Tests for Censored Data

Download or read book Chi squared Goodness of fit Tests for Censored Data written by Mikhail S. Nikulin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the problems of construction and application of chi-squared goodness-of-fit tests for complete and censored data. Classical chi-squared tests assume that unknown distribution parameters are estimated using grouped data, but in practice this assumption is often forgotten. In this book, we consider modified chi-squared tests, which do not suffer from such a drawback. The authors provide examples of chi-squared tests for various distributions widely used in practice, and also consider chi-squared tests for the parametric proportional hazards model and accelerated failure time model, which are widely used in reliability and survival analysis. Particular attention is paid to the choice of grouping intervals and simulations. This book covers recent innovations in the field as well as important results previously only published in Russian. Chi-squared tests are compared with other goodness-of-fit tests (such as the Cramer-von Mises-Smirnov, Anderson-Darling and Zhang tests) in terms of power when testing close competing hypotheses.

Book Estimation and Goodness of Fit in the Case of Randomly Censored LifetimeData

Download or read book Estimation and Goodness of Fit in the Case of Randomly Censored LifetimeData written by David Reineke and published by . This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new continuous distribution function estimator for randomly censored data is developed, discussed, and compared to existing estimators. Minimum distance estimation is shown to be effective in estimating Weibull location parameters when random censoring is present. A method of estimating all3 parameters of the 3-parameter Weibull distribution using a combination of minimum distance and maximum likelihood is also given. Cramer-von Mises and Anderson-Darling goodness-of-fit test statistics are modified to measure the discrepancy between the maximum likelihood estimate and the Kaplan-Meier product-limit estimate of the distribution function of the random variable of interest. These modified test statistics are used to construct goodness-of-fit tests for the exponential, Weibull (shape 2), and Weibull (shape 3.5) distributions when the censoring distribution is assumed to be exponential. Percentage points are obtained via Monte Carlo simulation. More generally, elements of competing risks theory are used to build goodness-of-fit tests usingcrude lifetimes. For tests based on crude lifetimes, the assumption of an exponentially distributed censoring variable and special estimation techniques are no longer required. Further, complete sample goodness-of-fit techniques may be used, bringing much more flexibility to goodness-of-fit testing when samples are randomly right-censored.
