    Area of Science:

    • Biostatistics
    • Survival Analysis
    • Statistical Modeling

    Background:

    • Survival data often includes censored observations (left-, right-, or interval-censored).
    • Accurate statistical models are crucial for analyzing time-to-event data in biomedical research.
    • Existing methods may not fully address complex censoring patterns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a robust method for fitting the proportional hazards regression model with various censoring types.
    • To generalize the log-rank test for comparing multiple survival curves.
    • To apply the developed method to real-world biological and clinical datasets.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a proportional hazards regression model accommodating left-, right-, and interval-censored data.
    • Derived results for testing the hypothesis of a zero regression coefficient.
    • Extended the log-rank test for multi-curve comparisons.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully fitted the proportional hazards model to complex censored survival data.
    • The generalized log-rank test provided a powerful tool for comparing survival distributions.
    • The method demonstrated utility in analyzing animal tumorigenicity and clinical trial data.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed regression method effectively handles diverse censoring in survival analysis.
    • The generalized log-rank test offers enhanced capabilities for survival curve comparisons.
    • This approach provides a valuable tool for analyzing time-to-event data in preclinical and clinical research.
