Abstract

Two tests were introduced for comparing several survival functions with doubly interval-censored data and illustrated with data surveyed by Korean Cancer Prevention Study (Jee et al., 2005). The test which extended Kim et al. (2006)'s test to the doubly interval-censored data has an advantage over Sun (2006)'s test in terms of saving computation time because the proposed test only depends on the size of risk set, and also the proposed test is applicable to continuous failure time data as well as discrete failure time data unlike Sun's test. Comparing male with female groups on the incubation time of diabetes was highly different and the survival of female group was longer than that of male one. Regardless of gender, the difference in survival functions of four age groups was highly significant with p-value of less than 0.001. This trend was more remarkable for female group than for male one. Simulation results showed that the significance level of both tests was well controlled and the proposed test was better than Sun's test in terms of power.

이중구간중도절단된 자료의 생존함수를 비교하기 위한 두 검정법을 소개하고 한국인 암 예방연구 (Jee 등, 2005) 자료에 적용하여 당뇨병 잠복시간의 분포를 성별과 연령에 따라 비교하였다. Kim 등 (2006)의 검정법을 이중구간중도절단된 자료로 확장한 검정법은 위험집합의 크기에만 의존하는 가중값을 사용하기 때문에 대용량 자료의 분석에서 Sun (2006)의 검정법보다 계산 시간을 대폭 줄일 수 있으며, 이산형 생존자료뿐만 아니라 연속형 생존자료에도 적용가능한 장점이 있다. 당뇨병의 잠복시간이 성별에 따라 매우 유의하게 달랐으며 여자의 잠복시간이 남자보다 긴 것으로 나타났다. 4개 연령그룹 간 당뇨병의 잠복시간도 성별에 관계 없이 매우 유의하게 달랐으며 여자의 경우가 남자의 경우보다 그 차이가 훨씬 더 유의했다. 한편, 소표본 모의실험을 통해 제안한 검정법과 Sun (2006)의 검정법의 검정력을 비교하였으며 제안한 검정법의 검정력이 Sun (2006)의 검정법보다 더 좋은 것으로 나타났다.
