Chi-Squared Goodness-of-Fit Tests for Parametric Accelerated Failure Time Models

Abstract

We give chi-squared goodness-of fit tests for parametric regression models such as accelerated failure time, proportional hazards, generalized proportional hazards, frailty models, transformation models, and models with cross-effects of survival functions. Random right censored data are used. Choice of random grouping intervals as data functions is considered.
