Chi-Square Goodness-if-Fit Tests for Randomly Censored Data
Mohamed Gamal Hassan Habib, David R. Thomas · The Annals of Statistics · 1986
Two Pearson-type goodness-of-fit test statistics for parametric families are considered for randomly right-censored data. Asymptotic distribution theory for the test statistics is based on the result that the product-limit process with MLE for nuisance parameters converges weakly to a Gaussian process. The Chernoff-Lehmann (1954) result extends to a generalized Pearson statistic. A modified Pearson statistic is shown to have a limiting chi-square null distribution.
