maxcombo - The Group Sequential Max-Combo Test for Comparing Survival
Curves
Functions for comparing survival curves using the
max-combo test at a single timepoint or repeatedly at
successive respective timepoints while controlling type I error
(i.e., the group sequential setting), as published by Prior
(2020) <doi:10.1177/0962280220931560>. The max-combo test is a
generalization of the weighted log-rank test, which itself is a
generalization of the log-rank test, which is a commonly used
statistical test for comparing survival curves, e.g., during or
after a clinical trial as part of an effort to determine if a
new drug or therapy is more effective at delaying undesirable
outcomes than an established drug or therapy or a placebo.
