Abstract

Under proportional hazard assumption (PH) in survival analysis, log-rank test (Mantel, 1966) is optimal. When PH assumption is violated, Wilcoxon test (Gehan, 1965), weighted log-rank test (Fleming, Harrington, & O'Sullivan, 1987), Max- Combo test (Karrison, 2016), and restricted mean survival time (Royston & Par- mar, 2013) are alternative methods.

In this study, we propose a chi-square test of homogeneity for comparing survival curves. We propose an adaptive procedure for choosing between the number of classes in the contingency table. We also discuss an adaptive procedure based on Simes adjustment for multiple testing.
