Distribution-Free Methods of Estimating Location Difference with Censored Paired Data

Publication Description
Nonparametric point and interval estimators of location difference in matched pairs data with arbitrary right censorship are proposed, based on a generalized Gehan-Gilbert test (Wei 1980). The point estimator is shown to be asymptotically normal and strongly consistent. The limits of the corresponding interval estimator are readily computable. An example is also provided to illustrate the techniques to problems in survival data analysis.
