Abstract:
This paper considers comparison of discrete failure time distributions when the survival time of interest measures elapsed time between two related events and observations on the occurrences of both events could be interval-censored. This kind of data is often referred to as doubly interval-censored failure time data. If the occurrence of the first event defining the survival time can be exactly observed, the data are usually referred to as interval-censored data. For the comparison problem based on interval-censored failure time data, Sun (1996) proposed a nonparametric test procedure. In this paper we generalize the procedure given in Sun (1996) to doubly interval-censored data case and the generalized test is evaluated by simulations.

Statistical Inference Techniques in Hypothesis Testing: Parametric Versus Nonparametric Data
Parametric statistics, as the name suggests, assumes that data follow a specific distribution, often a normal distribution. This assumption enables robust hypothesis testing and estimation. Parametric methods, like the Student's t-test or Goodness-of-fit test, are frequently employed in biostatistics due to their robustness. For instance, comparing...
