Abstract

The contribution studies the power of several nonparametric homogeneity tests, provided the data are randomly censored. The modified Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Cramér-von Mises statistics are considered, as well as Cox’s test and Peto&Peto test. The results are obtained by Monte Carlo method. They are compared and summarized in tables.
