Abstract

We consider a class of the weighted logrank tests and 4 types of weights in this class. We propese a test based on the maximum of 4 weighted logrank statistics and suggest a simulation techniqur to obtain the p-value of proposed test. It is shown through the simulation studies that the proposed test is robust and has reasonably good powers comparing with the well known efficient tests.
