Because the data have exactly observed observations, gLRT2 does not ap-
ply. Based on the test results above, the difference between the two survival
functions of the gender groups is only mildly significant. Note that, as men-
tioned in Zhao et al. (2008), choice of
rho
and
gamma
may aect the test
results.
14.4.2
Estimating the Survival Function
Using the data
cosmesis
with the treatment indicator dropped, we can obtain
the survival function estimate based on the combined data from both treat-
ment groups. Note that the function
ModifiedEMICM
is a debugged version of
the function
EMICM
in the package Icens and returns through
sigma
the MLE
of the distribution function by default.
