A Better Comparison under right-censoring: ABC Statistic for Equivalence Testing and Quantification
Simon Mack, Kathrin Möllenhoff, Dennis Dobler
The ABC (area between curves) statistic is an -distance which targets an easy-to-interpret estimand. Defined as the (normalized) integrated absolute distance between two survi…
Inference for competing risks based on area between curves statistics
Simon Mack, Marc Ditzhaus, Merle Munko +1
In competing risks models, cumulative incidence functions are commonly compared to infer differences between groups. Many existing inference methods, however, struggle when these f…
Inference in pseudo-observation-based regression using (biased) covariance estimation and naive bootstrapping
Simon Mack, Morten Overgaard, Dennis Dobler
The pseudo-observation method is regularly applied to time-to-event data. However, to date such analyses have relied on not formally verified statements or ad-hoc methods regarding…
Effect measures for comparing paired event times
Merle Munko, Simon Mack, Marc Ditzhaus +3
The progression-free survival ratio (PFSr) is a widely used measure in personalized oncology trials. It evaluates the effectiveness of treatment by comparing two consecutive event…
