Survival analysis under non-proportional hazards: investigating non-inferiority or equivalence in time-to-event data

Authors: Kathrin Möllenhoff, Achim Tresch

arXiv

The classical approach to analyze time-to-event data, e.g. in clinical trials, is to fit Kaplan-Meier curves yielding the treatment effect as the hazard ratio between treatment groups. Afterwards comm...
