A study on the scores for right censored data

  • Published : 2000.11.01

Abstract

We derive an asymptotic relation between the scores for the censored and uncensored observations for the untied value case among uncensored observations. With this relation, we show that two types of the linear rank statistics which are based on any consistent estimates of the distribution function, are asymptotically equivalent. Also, we discuss another asymptotic equivalence considered by Cuzick (1985).
