abstract

  • Some distribution-free tests have been discussed in the literature with regard to the comparison of hazard rates of two distributions when the available samples are complete. We generalize here Kochar's [S.C. Kochar, A new distribution-free test for the equality of two failure rates, Biometrika 68 (1981), pp. 423-426] test statistic to the case when one available sample is progressively Type-II censored, and then derive its exact null distribution and examine its power properties by means of a Monte Carlo simulation study. © 2013 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
