The famous chi-square test of Pearson is well known, while different modifications of this test are not so well known. At present, the theory of chi-squared tests is developed very actively, especially in accelerated trials. We discuss here some applications of the theory of chi-squared tests in reliability and survival analysis for parametric regression models with time dependent covariates when data are right censored.
