PURPOSE To compare visual field (VF) progression between glaucoma patients receiving
cataract surgery alone (CS) or with a Hydrus microstent (CS-HMS). DESIGN Post hoc …

In this article, we illustrate the method of designing a group-sequential randomized clinical
trial based on the difference in restricted mean survival time (RMST). The procedure is …

This paper develops a nonparametric inference framework that is applicable to occupation
time curves derived from wearable device data. These curves consider all activity levels …

Several methods for comparing k populations have been proposed in the literature. These
methods assess the same null hypothesis of equal distributions but differ in the alternative …

In non-inferiority (NI) trials with time-to-event data, different types and patterns of censoring
may occur, but their impact on trial results is not entirely clear. We investigated the influence …

It is frequently of interest in time-to-event analysis to compare multiple survival functions
nonparametrically. However, when the hazard functions cross, tests in existing R packages …

We propose non-parametric tests for showing non-inferiority of a new treatment compared to
reference therapies when data are censored. Two new families of non-parametric …

It is frequently of interest in time-to-event analysis to compare multiple survival functions
nonparametrically. However, when the hazard functions cross, tests in existing R packages …

approach to the simultaneous confidence bands for the functional means........................... 12 …

This is a case study for a new class of nonparametric tests designed to assess evidence of
non-inferiority ordering among multiple survival functions. The tests are devised for tree …
